recently donned an astronaut suit at Space Camp in Huntsville.

Ozzy Osbourne and son Jack Osbourne visited the Alabama facility for an episode of their A&E Network travel show "Ozzy & Jack's World Detour." The Space Camp episode, titled "Lizard of Oz," premieres 8 p.m. central Aug. 1.

A preview clip depicts Osbourne remarking, "I'm dressed up like a Thanksgiving turkey," while suspended midair and wearing a spacesuit. Later, the singer seems to be imagining a news report if things had gone wrong there: "Ozzy Osbourne breaks neck. He fell off a make-believe rocket." (Watch clip below.)

According to a press release, the Space Camp visit fulfills a "childhood dream" of Jack Osbourne's. The Osbournes filmed at the facility March 30. Jack's young daughter and Ozzy's granddaughter Pearl was also onsite.

In addition to his groundbreaking Black Sabbath music - the British band's signature songs include "Paranoid" and "War Pigs" - Osbourne's known for solo hits like "Crazy Train" and "Mama I'm Coming Home." His haunting vocal tone, every-dude vibe, John Lennon-inspired melodic sense and gonzo live performances made the music magnetic. In the early 2000s, Ozzy became an unlikely reality TV star when his family was the subject of MTV's hit show "The Osbournes." This was a surreal development for any viewers who'd grown up during the '80s, when Osbourne's drug and alcohol fueled antics, including an infamous onstage incident in which he bit the head off a bat, made him parents' public-enemy number-one.

A&E's "Ozzy & Jack's World Detour" is in its third season. In previous episodes Osbourne visited an Arizona biosphere, traveled back to Los Angeles for the birth of his new granddaughter, learned to make pistachios in New Mexico, attend "explosion school" in Missouri and visited a record-pressing plant and drag show brunch in Nashville.

Black Sabbath finished their latest farewell tour, dubbed "The End," in 2017. This year Osbourne launched his solo "No More Tours 2" trek, cheekily named after his 1992 farewell tour "No More Tours."

There are no currently scheduled Alabama dates for "No More Tours 2." (There were none for Sabbath's "The End" either.) However, Osbourne does have history in Huntsville and Alabama in general. On Feb. 28, 1983, Osbourne performed at Huntsville arena Von Braun Center as part of his "Speak of the Devil Tour."

Osbourne also performed at Birmingham's Boutwell Auditorium March 6, 1982, just two weeks before Randy Rhoads, the guitar genius who helped him reboot as a solo star, perished in a March 19 Leesburg, Fla. airplane crash. According to setlist.fm, Osbourne's past solo Alabama shows have included 1984 dates in Birmingham and Mobile and 1996 at Pelham's Oak Mountain Amphitheater, the latter as part of his "Retirement Sucks" tour.

Further back, Black Sabbath's 1978 "Never Say Die!" tour, which featured some young band called Van Halen as support act, scheduled three Alabama shows: Birmingham, Mobile and Huntsville. The Huntsville show is said to have been cancelled. (The Von Braun Center was recently unable to confirm that cancellation. It was 40 years ago, after all.)

In a much more bizarre connection, this June in Montgomery a 27-year-old African-American man also named Ozzy Osbourne was sentenced to almost 30 years in prison, after being found guilty of murder, stemming from a 2015 barbershop shooting.

Black Sabbath was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006. Inexplicably, Osbourne has yet to be inducted as a solo artist.
