It's one of the most notorious moments in rock history, reports RollingStone.com: Ozzy Osbourne, arrested in San Antonio, Texas in February 1982 for urinating at a monument near the Alamo dedicated to the lives of soldiers killed in the 1836 Texas Revolution. Following the incident, Osbourne was banned from the Texas city for a decade. And while he's since performed live in San Antonio, he returned to that landmark Thursday for the first time in 33 years when he, his son Jack and a History Channel documentary team took a tour of the shrine.
"This is my first time here, not his," Jack Osbourne joked to Stephen L. Hardin, the Osbournes' tour guide for the Alamo visit, the San Antonio Express-News reports. The Alamo tour was set up in secret as part of Jack Osbourne's upcoming History Channel travelogue series.

Dozens gathered to watch the rocker return to the scene of the infamous crime.
