Randy Rhoads, the legendary guitarist who played a pivotal role in Ozzy Osbourne's solo career, is being remembered this year as tributes pour in marking the anniversary of his tragic death. The celebrated musician died on 19 March 1982 in a plane crash during a tour stop in Florida, aged just 25.
Rhoads had only been with Osbourne for a short time, but his influence helped launch the singer's successful solo career following his departure from Black Sabbath. With fans and musicians honouring his memory in 2025, the question remains: who was Randy Rhoads, and why does his legacy endure?
