Amid the live sets honoring Birmingham\u2019s own Prince of Darkness, one unexpected tribute stole the spotlight.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jack Black<\/strong>, longtime friend of Ozzy and rock\u2019s most joyful anarchist, delivered a pre-recorded homage that was as chaotic as it was heartfelt: a wild, larger-than-life recreation of Ozzy\u2019s iconic \u201cMr. Crowley\u201d video, backed by an electrifying group of teenage musicians. The video appeared on Ozzy\u2019s official YouTube channel and instantly set the internet ablaze\u2014not for its view count, but for its raw, unfiltered love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/jack_black_ozzy.jpg\" alt=\"Jack Black recreates Ozzy Osbourne's 'Mr. Crowley' video for final Black Sabbath concert\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>With eyes wide in faux-occult frenzy, Jack charged through the song like a man possessed. His vocals echoed Ozzy\u2019s signature rasp, and beside him teen guitar prodigy Roman Morello unleashed a searing solo as keyboardist Hugo Weiss conjured those classic organ tones. Every headbang, every glitter-strewn flourish felt less like parody and more like pure&nbsp;<strong>devotion<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.independent.co.uk\/2024\/10\/20\/17\/newFile-1.jpg?width=1200&amp;auto=webp\" alt=\"Jack Black calls Ozzy Osbourne 'the Jack Nicholson of\u2026\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Above the spectacle was something deeper: a palpable&nbsp;<strong>grief turned into celebration<\/strong>. Jack Black wasn\u2019t making fun of Ozzy\u2014he was channeling him, honoring him. In every exaggerated gesture and dramatic pause, you could feel a heartfelt \u201cthank you\u201d to the man who dared the world to be louder, darker, and more unabashedly real.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Jack Black feat.
