Ozzy Osbourne Honoured By UK Army Band With Iconic Black Sabbath Cover
In a moment that shocked royal watchers and rock fans alike, King Charles’ troops broke with centuries of tradition during the Changing of the Guard to honor the late Ozzy Osbourne. The military band’s rigid march gave way to the thunderous riffs of Black Sabbath’s Paranoid, stunning the crowd outside Buckingham Palace. Viral TikTok clips captured the tribute, earning millions of views and praise for celebrating “a true outlaw.” Ozzy, who passed away on July 22, had shared a rare bond with King Charles, once calling him “genuine and kind.” The Prince of Darkness famously performed at the Queen’s Golden Jubilee in 2002, further cementing his unlikely royal connection. On the same day as his funeral in Birmingham, the palace’s musical salute became an unexpected farewell, one truly worthy of a rock king.
