Ozzy Osbourne's relationship with the Alamo in San Antonio, Texas, began when he drunkenly urinated on the sacred monument during a bender in 1982. The incident led to his arrest and a 10-year ban on performing in the city of San Antonio.
Ozzy publicly apologized for the incident in 1992 and returned in 2015 to learn more about the site's history. The Alamo was moved by Ozzy's "humility and understanding" and issued a tribute to the late-heavy metal singer via its official channels.
"At the Alamo, we honor history in all its complexities. Today, we acknowledge Ozzy Osbourne's journey from regret to reconciliation at the historic site, and we extend our condolences to his family, friends, and fans around the world. May he rest in peace."
