73-year-old Ozzy Osbourne helped start the NFL season with this performance

The NFL’s regular season started last night (September 8) at SoFi Stadium in LA. When the Rams and the Bills went to the locker rooms for halftime, Ozzy and his band trotted out.

For a 73-year-old guy in rough health (Parkinson’s, back and neck problems), it was pretty good. And yes, that was Tony Iommi on guitar, too. Weirdly, NBC aired only TEN SECONDS of the performance. Was the network afraid of something? Fans were NOT happy.

Neither were the hometown fans. The defending Super Bowl champions lost 31-10.

Tony Iommi? It looks like Zakk Wylde to me.

Sort of an odd observation I know but Ozzy’s hair looks badass

I see Zakk Wylde playing on Crazy Train but nobody looks like Tommy Iomi and none of them have a left-handed guitar.
