The Black Sabbath singer wanted to show his appreciation for the Louisville Leopard Percussionists after watching their cover of ‘Crazy Train’.
Ozzy Osbourne has donated $10,000 to the Louisville Leopard Percussionists who back in 2012 posted an an all-percussion cover of his 1980 hit ‘Crazy Train’ on Youtube. The video has so far amassed over 800,000 Youtube views since its upload, but it seems the Black Sabbath frontman only just got round to checking it out.
Ozzy donated to the Louisville teens after watching their rendition of ‘Crazy Train’ on YouTube.
According to Louisville’s Courier-Journal, Osbourne sent the musical group a cheque for $10,000 along with a note which read, ‘Myself, my whole family and my fans all loved your rendition of 'Crazy Train.' Keep up the good work. God Bless, Ozzy Osbourne’

The Louisville Leopard Percussionists are a non-profit community organisation founded in 1993 which relies primarily on donations to survive. The group is made up of more than 60 students between the ages of 7 to 14 who are taught how to work together and create clever covers of unique songs.
The group has previously covered Led Zeppelin's ‘Kashmir’, ‘Immigrant Song’ and ‘The Ocean’. In February the band were given the ultimate shoutout when Jimmy Page shared their cover of ‘Kashmir’ on Facebook writing ‘Too good not to share. Have a rocking weekend!’
