In a powerful and poignant posthumous interview clip, the late Ozzy Osbourne can be heard crediting his legendary guitarist Randy Rhoads as the “first guy that came into my life and gave me hope.” The touching archival footage has been released as part of a trailer for a new Hulu docuseries, “Into The Void“, which will dedicate its premiere episode to the life and tragic death of the iconic guitarist.
The newly surfaced clips, which also feature Ozzy‘s wife and manager Sharon Osbourne, offer a bittersweet reminder of the pivotal, life-saving partnership that launched Ozzy‘s solo career in the early 1980s after his dismissal from Black Sabbath.
In the trailer, Sharon Osbourne speaks to the profound impact Rhoads had on her husband’s creative and personal rebirth. “Randy was a gift from God,” she states. “He pulled the best out of Ozzy.”
The most emotional moment comes from Ozzy himself, who, in the archival footage, explains the deep personal significance of his young guitarist. “He was the first guy that came into my life and gave me hope,” Osbourne says.
The clips are from the first episode of “Into The Void“, a new eight-part docuseries set to premiere on Hulu on Monday, September 22. The series promises to be an unflinching look at some of the most influential, dramatic, and often tragic stories in the history of heavy metal.
