LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Ozzy Osbourne has donated $10,000 to a Kentucky children’s percussion group after watching a video of the students performing Osbourne’s signature hit, "Crazy Train."

The Courier-Journal reports (http://cjky.it/1Eq6VU2 ) the rock star saw a YouTube video of the Louisville Leopard Percussionists, a group comprised of more than 60 students, aged 7-14.
