ON THIS DAY IN METAL: July 25th, 1981 Thieves steal over $10,000 worth of jewelry from Ozzy Osbournes hotel room

43 years ago Ozzy played Hamilton Place July 25th, 1981. While in Hamilton Ozzy’s hotel room was broken into and over $10,000 in jewelry and other items were stolen.

Vic Ess who ran a store called the Rock Express said:

"I got to meet Randy Rhoads and Tommy Aldridge that afternoon, had a brief chat with the 2 of them."

Supporting Ozzy on the Canadian Blizzard Of Ozz tour was a Canadian act by the name of Queen City Kids. Any band touring in Canada in 1981 was required to have at least one Canadian national act on the bill. There is no known audio or video to exist from this show.

This photo was given to us by a fan. She stated this photo was from either the Kitchener, Hamilton or Kingston show as she wasn't able to remember exactly.
