Ozzy Army Descends on Mardi Gras Parade
The streets of New Orleans were filled with a sea of black and purple as at least 200 people dressed as the Prince of Darkness, Ozzy Osbourne, descended upon the Mardi Gras parade on February 16, 2026. The group, known as the 'Ozzy Army,' was in town to honor the late rock legend and celebrate his enduring legacy.
The parade, which took place in the French Quarter, was a vibrant display of color and music, with floats, marching bands, and of course, plenty of Ozzy-themed costumes. The Ozzy Army, made up of fans from all over the world, was a sight to behold, with many dressed in elaborate costumes and makeup to resemble the iconic musician.
The group's organizer, who wished to remain anonymous, said that the idea for the Ozzy Army was born out of a desire to keep Ozzy's memory alive and to celebrate his music and legacy. 'Ozzy was a true original and a rock icon, and we wanted to do something special to honor him,' they said.
The parade was a huge success, with thousands of people lining the streets to catch a glimpse of the Ozzy Army. The group's energy and enthusiasm were infectious, and they brought a sense of joy and celebration to the event.
As the parade came to a close, the Ozzy Army gathered in the French Quarter to sing along to some of Ozzy's biggest hits, including 'Crazy Train' and 'Mr. Crowley.' It was a truly unforgettable experience, and one that will be remembered for years to come.
The Ozzy Army's appearance at the Mardi Gras parade was a testament to the enduring power of Ozzy's music and legacy. Even in death, he continues to inspire and bring people together, and the Ozzy Army's celebration of his life and music was a fitting tribute to a true rock legend.
