Following the news of Ozzy Osbourne's death, tributes emerged, including one from The Alamo, which recalled his 1982 incident of urinating on their Cenotaph monument. This incident led to a decade-long ban on his performances in San Antonio. Osbourne returned in 1992 to apologize to the mayor and eventually reconciled with the community. The Alamo acknowledged this historical complexity in their tribute, reflecting on Osbourne's journey of regret and reconciliation while offering condolences to his loved ones.
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.
