Rudy Sarzo - Few people know this, but he was treated at St. John’s (hospital) outside London.He had a nervous breakdown. It was during our European tour with Saxon. We were rehearsing – Tommy (Aldridge), Don Airey, Randy and myself. We were in England for the Diary Of A Madman tour, and our singer was in a mental institution . We’d go visit him with Sharon. She was a major instigator and would call us up: “Come on, let’s visit Ozzy!”


We’d visit him, and this hospital was like something out of The Elephant Man. There’s Ozzy in one room with a iron headboard above his bed with a little curtain for him to change and a piss bucket and pitcher of water.

That was a cool interview, Phoenix. Rudy Sarzo has really been around, huh. Its amazing as he has played with so many of my favorite bands and musicians. Worth the read.
