Interview of Ozzy Osbourne (1982)

Night Flight, Diary of a Madman era

In 1982, Night Flight catches Ozzy Osbourne in the Diary of a Madman window, months after Randy Rhoads’ death and deep into the solo years that followed Black Sabbath. The interview mixes bat-and-dove tabloid noise with a singer who still sounds shocked by his own fame.

What sticks is the contrast: theatrical “Prince of Darkness” branding on one side, and a Birmingham voice trying to explain the records, the tours, and the chaos in between.
