Sebastian Bach performed covers of Ozzy Osbourne‘s “Crazy Train” and “I Don’t Know” during his concert Friday night (July 25) at the Labadie Rib Fest in Bay City, Michigan.

Prior to launching into “Crazy Train”, which was the fourth song of his set, Sebastian told the crowd:  ”You know, they called him the Prince Of Darkness, but all he did was make us all fucking happy, man. That’s it.

“This show tonight is dedicated to fucking Ozzy Osbourne tonight, Bay City.

“And they said that when he died, he was surrounded by his family and his friends after doing the best concert that he ever did in his whole life.

“We all love Ozzy.

“How many people wanna go fucking crazy tonight? Let’s go off the rails on the crazy train.”

Bach‘s current touring band includes his son Paris Bach on drums, “Bruiser” Brody DeRozie on guitar, and Fede Delfino on bass.

In 2014, Sebastian said his “ultimate dream in rock ‘n’ roll” when he was “fired” from SKID ROW in 1996 “was to possibly some day be like Ozzy Osbourne, in that he came up with [BLACK] SABBATH and then had a successful solo career.”

That same year, Bach defended Osbourne against critics, telling TV Rock Live: “Some people think, ‘Oh, Ozzy, he’s not a great singer.’ I say, bullshit. I think Ozzy is an amazing singer, because I feel what is in his crazy fucking mind. Like, he sounds, you know… crazy.”

A decade ago, Bach released a cover of Ozzy‘s “S.A.T.O.” as part of an album celebrating the legacy of legendary guitarist Randy Rhoads (OZZY OSBOURNE, QUIET RIOT). Blessed by the Rhoads family and including a track by Randy‘s brother Kelle Rhoads, the CD was made available in January 2015 at the “Randy Rhoads Remembered” show at the Observatory in Santa Ana, California.

In addition to Sebastian, Bach‘s version of “S.A.T.O.” featured Brent Woods (SEBASTIAN BACH, VINCE NEIL) on guitar, James LoMenzo (JOHN FOGERTY, BLACK LABEL SOCEITY, MEGADETH, DAVID LEE ROTH, WHITE LION) on bass, and Brian Tichy (WHITESNAKE, FOREIGNER, PRIDE & GLORY) on drums.

Ozzy died Tuesday morning (July 22),his family announced in a statement.

“It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time,” the family said.

No cause of death was given, but Osbourne had battled a number of health issues over the past several years, including Parkinson’s disease and injuries he sustained from a late-night fall in 2019.

Ozzy‘s death came a little more than two weeks after he took the stage for his final performance with BLACK SABBATH at Villa Park in the band’s original hometown of Birmingham, United Kingdom. They performed four songs for more than 40,000 people in the stadium and 5.8 million more on a livestream. Ozzy also played a five-song solo set while seated in a bat-adorned throne.

Ozzy‘s family reality television show “The Osbournes” won a 2002 Primetime Emmy.

In 2006, Osbourne and the other members of the original BLACK SABBATH were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. Ozzy was also inducted into the Rock Hall as a solo artist in 2024.

Osbourne won several Grammys, including one in 1993 for his solo song “I Don’t Want To Change The World”.

Ozzy and his wife and manager Sharon started their annual tour — Ozzfest — in 1996 after he was rejected from the lineup of what at the time was the top touring music festival, Lollapalooza. The first traveling version of Ozzfest in 1997 included MARILYN MANSON and PANTERA as part of the lineup.

Osbourne leaves behind his wife, three children from his first marriage (including an adopted son from his first wife’s previous relationship),and three with Sharon: Jack, Kelly and Aimee.
