Randy Rhoads' 30th Anniversary

Today marks the 30th anniversary of Randy Rhoads’ death at the age of 25.


The legendary guitarist died unexpectedly on March the 19th, 1982 in a tragic plane crash in Leesburg, Florida. Although a shock to all his friends, family and fans, his legacy and influence are now bigger than ever.


According to reports, plans are being put in place for the publication of an extensive book on his life in the next month. The book has been co-written by Steven Rosen and Andrew Klein.
