OZZY OSBOURNE OFFERS 25K REWARD FOR THE RETURN OF RANDY RHOADS’ STOLEN GEAR

Ozzy Osbourne has posted the following message on his Facebook page:

“As many of you have heard, the Musonia School of Music in N. Hollywood, CA (the school where Randy Rhoads famously taught guitar) was viciously robbed on Thanksgiving night. Musonia was run by Randy’s late mother, Delores, and after his death 37 years ago, the school became something of a pilgrimage to his fans from all over the world. It is a place where the Rhoads Family happily opened their hearts to share the life of Randy. As you can imagine, the items that were stolen, including Randy’s first electric guitar, are irreplaceable to the Rhoads Family. I am heartbroken that these treasured physical memories of Randy and Delores have been taken from the family so I’ve decided to personally offer a $25,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction and/or return of all stolen items. For information regarding the theft or return of these items please contact: Nick D’Argenzio Phone: 818-281-7893 E-Mail: nickdargenzio@gmail.com

Here is a list and images of the items that were taken:

· Randy Rhoads’ First Electric Guitar Owned, Harmony Rocket Est. 1963

· Randy Rhoads’ Original Quiet Riot Gear – Peavey Amp Head, 1970s

· Randy Rhoads Series Marshall Head, Rare Protoype No. 1 or 2 given to the family by Marshall Company.

· Delores Rhoads’ First Trumpet, a Prewar/Great Depression Era Silver Fresh Besson Trumpet. This was given to her as a child by her medical doctor father in exchange for medical services as a barter during the great depression. This subsequently sparked Delores Rhoads long lived music career.

· 40 years of fan gifts to the Rhoads Family, memorabilia, all photos of Randy Rhoads, the Osbournes, Delores Rhoads, and miscellaneous instruments were taken. The photo shown in the main room was cleared out.”

In recent Ozzy news, the singer is currently streaming his second single, titled, Straight To Hell, from his forthcoming lbum, Ordinary Man, due out on Epic Records in early 2020. Click here to listen to the track featuring guitarist Slash.

    Good for Ozzy. I’m sure somebody out there knows something. I hope they find everything that was stolen undamaged, and find the creeps that did this and lock their asses up!

      I feel the same way, I want every last item returned and undamaged.

    Look out!!!! Here comes the counterfeit gear recovery. Check out “Chibsons” aka Gibson guitar rip offs. Hope that stolen gear was well documented. Counterfeiters getting better every day at the craft.
