The incident occurred when tour bus driver Andrew Aycock took the aircraft out for a joyride and repeatedly flew close to the bus, eventually clipping it and crashing into a building. On 19 March 1982, however, the tour came to an abrupt halt when Rhoads was killed in a plane crash in Leesburg, Florida. The Diary of a Madman Tour commenced in December, with Don Airey in place of Bridgwater on keyboards. After the end of the Blizzard of Ozz touring cycle, Diary of a Madman was released in November 1981. They were replaced by Rudy Sarzo (a former member of Quiet Riot with Rhoads) and Tommy Aldridge, respectively, who were both credited on the Diary of a Madman album sleeve, despite having not performed on it. After the recording of Diary of a Madman, on which Johnny Cook performed uncredited keyboards, both Daisley and Kerslake were fired Osbourne has blamed the pair's dismissal on creative differences, while his wife Sharon has cited financial disputes. For the album's promotional tour, this role was handled by Lindsay Bridgwater. The new band released their debut album Blizzard of Ozz in September 1980, which also featured keyboard contributions from Don Airey. By November 1979, he had settled on a supergroup lineup including former Quiet Riot guitarist Randy Rhoads, former Rainbow bassist and backing vocalist Bob Daisley, and former Uriah Heep drummer Lee Kerslake. The vocalist subsequently rehearsed with a range of musicians in an attempt to form his own band, including guitarists Gary Moore of Thin Lizzy and George Lynch of Dokken, bassist Dana Strum, and drummers Dixie Lee of Lone Star and Dave Potts of Praying Mantis. Ozzy Osbourne was fired from Black Sabbath on 27 April 1979, primarily due to his problems with alcohol and drug abuse. The current lineup includes guitarist Zakk Wylde (who first joined in 1987 until 1992, spent a second tenure in the band from 20, and most recently rejoined in 2017), bassist Rob 'Blasko' Nicholson (a member since 2003), keyboardist and rhythm guitarist Adam Wakeman (who first joined as a touring musician in 2004, and was made an official member with the release of Scream in 2010), and drummer Tommy Clufetos (since 2010).

Since their inception, the group's personnel have changed regularly. After he was fired from Black Sabbath earlier in the year, Osbourne formed a solo band (initially known as Blizzard of Ozz) in November 1979 with guitarist Randy Rhoads, bassist Bob Daisley and drummer Lee Kerslake. Ozzy Osbourne is an English heavy metal vocalist from Aston, Birmingham.
