Ozzy recalls his last conversation with Rhoads that night on the bus.  Randy was bitching at Ozzy for being really drunk. The last thing Rhoads said to him that night was, "You'll kill yourself, you know? One of these days."  

On Facebook in 2014 Ozzy said, "It was 32 years ago that we lost Randy. I miss him every day of my life. I will never forget Randy - he was the best thing to happen to me. I miss his spirit - the world lost a great soul."
