And then there was Ozzy Osborne's lead guitarist. RIP Randy
One of rock's enduring mysteries unfolded on March 19, 1982, as 25-year-old Ozzy Osbourneguitarist Randy Rhoads -- despite having a reported fear of flying -- perished in a fiery crash at Leesburg, Fla., after a joy ride in a Beechcraft Bonanza. When it was over, the dead included Rhoads, one of the era's most promising young guitarists, as well as Rachel Youngblood, a 58-year-old seamstress and cook for the Osbourne band, and Andrew Aycock, a 36-year-old bus driver with an expired pilot's license.
