Guitarist
Bernie Tormé (
OZZY OSBOURNE,
GILLAN,
GUY-MCCOY-TORME) was recently interviewed by director
Peter M. Margolis of
Dakota Films for the upcoming long-awaited documentary film on the life of celebrated rock guitarist
Randy Rhoads.
Margolis and his team came to interview
Tormé at his studio in Kent, U.K.
Bernie spoke of his experiences when he stood in to replace guitarist
Randy Rhoads on the
"Blizzard Of Ozz" tour following
Randy's untimely tragic death in 1982.
Three years in the making, this documentary — which is being made with the co-operation of the
Rhoads family — highlights interviews with those closest to
Randy as well as reveals never-before-seen photos and footage of
Randy throughout his life. Tentative release date for the film is September 2009.
In 1982,
Rhoads, the then-lead guitarist for
OZZY OSBOURNE, and two others were killed at Flying Baron Estates, just outside Leesburg, Florida, when their small plane struck
Osbourne's tour bus, then crashed into a mansion.
