Ozzy Osbourne recently admitted to Rolling Stone that he has never gotten over the death of his former guitarist Randy Rhoads, who was killed in a 1982 plane crash while on tour.

Speaking to the magazine, the Prince of Darkness revealed, "I go back to that field looking at that ruined plane and a house on fire, you never get over something like that, you get shocked."

Following the loss, Ozzy almost quit but was encouraged to keep going by his manager and future wife, Sharon.

Reflecting on his career, Ozzy says he wouldn't change history because "I would not be where I am," adding, "My life was unbelievable. You could not write my story, no one could invent me."
