Ozzy Osbourne Wants Donald Trump to Stop Using His Music

President Donald Trump is not welcome aboard Ozzy Osbourne‘s crazy train.

On Thursday, the Black Sabbath frontman and his wife Sharon Osbourne were less than thrilled when they learned that Trump, 73, had used one of Ozzy’s hit songs on social media.

In response to the president’s unauthorized use of “Crazy Train”, the couple slammed Trump and forbid him from using any of Ozzy’s music ever again, before suggesting that he reach out to other musicians who have previously endorsed him.

Early Thursday morning when Trump shared a video to Twitter mocking the audio mishap at the Democratic debate that had occurred just hours earlier on Wednesday evening.

Sharon Osbourne statement, on behalf of @OzzyOsbourne, about @realDonaldTrump’s unauthorized use of Osbourne’s “Crazy Train” in what amounts to a Trump/Pence political ad. “Based on this morning’s unauthorized use of Ozzy Osbourne’s “Crazy Train,” we are sending notice to the Trump campaign (or any other campaigns) that they are forbidden from using any of Ozzy Osbourne’s music in political ads or in any political campaigns. Ozzy’s music cannot be used for any means without approvals. In the meantime, I have a suggestion for Mr. Trump--perhaps he should reach out to some of his musician friends. Maybe #KayneWest (“Gold Digger”), @KidRock (“I Am the Bullgod”) or @TedNugentofficial (“Stranglehold”) will allow use of their music.

In the clip, which opens with footage of MSNBC having technical difficulties, the screen slowly fades to black and “Crazy Train” starts playing. A silhouette of Trump then appears on the screen as the president emerges from the shadows and walks towards a podium.

“Thank you @MSNBC, real professionals! @chucktodd @maddow” Trump mockingly wrote alongside the video.

The video eventually caught the attention of Sharon, 66, and Ozzy, 70, who made it clear that they did not grant Trump permission to use the song.

In a joint statement posted on Sharon’s Instagram, the couple wrote, “Based on this morning’s unauthorized use of Ozzy Osbourne’s ‘Crazy Train,’ we are sending notice to the Trump campaign (or any other campaigns) that they are forbidden from using any of Ozzy Osbourne’s music in political ads or in any political campaigns.”

“Ozzy’s music cannot be used for any means without approvals,” they reiterated.
