Ozzy Osbourne<\/a> has offered $25,000 as a reward for the return of stolen instruments previously owned by his late guitarist Randy Rhoads<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAs many of you have heard<\/a>, the Musonia School of Music in N. Hollywood, CA (the school where Randy Rhoads famously taught guitar) was viciously robbed on Thanksgiving night,\u201d Osbourne wrote on Instagram<\/a> Saturday. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMusonia was run by Randy\u2019s 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\u2019s first electric guitar, are irreplaceable to the Rhoads Family.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Rhoads served as Osbourne\u2019s lead guitarist on the singer\u2019s classic LPs 1980\u2019s Blizzard of Ozz<\/em> and 1981\u2019s Diary of a Madman<\/em> before his March 19th, 1982 death in a tragic airplane accident.<\/span><\/p>\n

The stolen instruments include Rhoads\u2019 first electric guitar, a 1963 Harmony Rocket, as well as a rare Marshall prototype made specifically for Rhoads and a Great Depression era trumpet owned by Rhoads\u2019 mother Delores. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI am heartbroken that these treasured physical memories of Randy and Delores have been taken from the family so I\u2019ve decided to personally offer a $25,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction and\/or return of all stolen items,\u201d Osbourne added.<\/span><\/p>\n

I am heartbroken that these treasured physical memories of Randy and Delores have been taken from the family so I\u2019ve 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\u2019Argenzio Phone: 818-281-7893 E-Mail: nickdargenzio@gmail.com Here is a list and images of the items that were taken: \u00b7 Randy Rhoads\u2019 First Electric Guitar Owned, Harmony Rocket Est. 1963 \u00b7 Randy Rhoads\u2019 Original Quiet Riot Gear \u2013 Peavey Amp Head, 1970s \u00b7 Randy Rhoads Series Marshall Head, Rare Protoype No. 1 or 2 given to the family by Marshall Company. \u00b7 Delores Rhoads\u2019 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. \u00b7 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.<\/a><\/p>\n
