Ozzy Osbourne will visit the Alamo Thursday to tape a History Channel show where the rock legend will apologize for urinating on the Alamo Cenotaph in 1982, District 1 Councilman Roberto Trevino revealed at a downtown forum Wednesday night.

Trevino declined to say what time Osbourne would be visiting the monument — which he plans to do with his son and a “History Channel” crew — saying they want to keep the spectacle to a minimum.

Trevino did say Osbourne has been in contact with his office in recent days about the visit.

According to the San Antonio Express-News archives, Osbourne urinated at the monument while in town for a concert.

"He was drunk. Ozzy was super drunk and he had a bladder problem. You know, I don't think anyone would have even noticed what he was doing except that he was doing a photo shoot with the English music magazine Melody Maker and he was dressed in pink tights and ballerina shoes. He wandered over to the side of the statue and there he went, " concert promoter Greg Wilson told the Express News in 1992.

Wilson helped bail Osbourne out of jail.

"When we got him out of jail he was still so intoxicated that I didn't think he'd be able to perform that night. But he slept it off. We did ask him not to mention what he had done when he went onstage. Ozzy went against everything we said, " Wilson said, according to the archives.
