Ozzy Osbourne passed through San Antonio, Tex., Thursday and visited the Alamo, the site of his infamous 1982 urination incident.

Ozzy Osbourne At The Alamo, Site Of Urination Incident

The last time Osbourne was at the Alamo landmark, back in 1982, the Black Sabbath rocker had urinated on the Cenotaph in Alamo Plaza. The stunt had landed him in jail, though he was released on $40 bond and able to make it to his concert later that day. Osbourne was subsequently banned from San Antonio, but he was pardoned 10 years ago after donating $10,0000 to the Daughters of the Republic of Texas.

Thirty-three years after urinating on the monument, Osbourne stopped by the landmark, where more than 100 of his fans cheered him on. Accompanied by his son Jack Osbourne, the rocker appeared to be apologizing for defiling the monument at the American landmark, though what he may have said is unknown.

The Osbourne father-and-son duo are currently filming a show with the History Channel. A film crew is following the pair around as they tour the world. Surprisingly, the film crew did not film during Ozzy and Jack’s time outside the Alamo.

“I think [Ozzy] was a little overwhelmed,” Stephen L. Hardin, the Osbournes’ tour guide, told the San Antonio Express-News. “The plan was for them to just fly in under the radar … for Jack and Ozzy to be like regular tourists. … And the producers swore me to secrecy because we didn’t want a mob scene. And I checked Facebook this morning and I thought, ‘God, it’s going to be a …’ and it was. … I’m friends with Phil Collins, too. His fan base is very much different. I can tell you that.”
