Is it Ozzy Osbourne… or just a long-haired rock drummer from Sweden? Don Crash, Swedish drummer of rock band H.E.A.T., has sent the Internet into a double-take frenzy after posting a now-viral Instagram video where he reveals just how much he looks like the Prince of Darkness - Ozzy Osbourne - himself. In the clip, Crash recalls a fan sending him a photo and saying, “This guy looks like you.” When he responds saying, “That’s me," fan says, “No, that’s Ozzy.” What follows is a jaw-dropping series of side-by-side photos comparing Crash and Osbourne — both sporting signature tinted sunglasses, long dark hair, and that unmistakable rock ‘n’ roll aura. Crash captioned the video: “You guys be the judge! I’m @doncrash, long-haired drummer from Scandinavia, touring the world with my band. I grew up on legends like him. Now I’m doing my part to keep rock alive.” While the post has amused many fans, Crash made it clear it was meant as a tribute rather than a parody. He also expressed deep emotion over the recent passing of a “true legend,” referring to the loss of a music icon, presumably someone from Ozzy’s close circle or perhaps a tribute to the aging rocker himself. “This is just a fun coincidence that I wanted to share, sent to me by a fan,” he wrote. “I have nothing but love and respect for Ozzy Osbourne and his family going through a tough time right now.” Crash also revealed that he grew up playing Black Sabbath and Ozzy tunes on the drums — a passion that clearly shaped his musical journey. “A few years back I got the opportunity to share stage with Ozzy at a festival in Spain, playing just before him with my band @heatsweden. A memory for life,” he added. Watch the video: View this post on Instagram A post shared by 𝐃𝐎𝐍 𝑪𝑹𝑨𝑺𝑯 (@doncrash) Fans flooded the comments section. A user wrote, “Oh! My! God!!!
