Ozzy Osbourne has offered a $25,000 reward for information leading to the return of a number of items stolen from the Musonia School of Music, the school where Randy Rhoads famously taught guitar in California.
The school, which was run by Randy’s late mother, Delores, was robbed on Thanksgiving night. Following Randy’s death, the school had become 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.
The stolen items include Randy’s first ever electric guitar and the first trumpet given to his mother during the Great Depression.
Here is a list of the items that were taken. You can see photos in Ozzy’s Facebook post below.
- 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.
