Interview of Ozzy Osbourne (1982)

Night Flight, Diary of a Madman era

In 1982, Night Flight catches Ozzy Osbourne during Diary of a Madman, months after Randy Rhoads’ death and well into the solo years that followed Black Sabbath. The interview covers the bat, the dove and the tabloid stories. He still sounds shocked by his own fame.

The “Prince of Darkness” name is part of the show. In the interview a Birmingham voice goes through the records, the tours and the chaos in between. Those solo years frame the talk.
