SAN ANTONIO, Nov. 6 (UPI) -- Ozzy Osbourne returned to the Alamo this week, 33 years after his infamous peeing incident. The 66-year-old English singer visited the historical site to film scenes for son Jack Osbourne's new travel show Thursday. Osbourne issued a private apology during his tour that will appear on the forthcoming series.

The Black Sabbath rocker was arrested drunkenly urinating on a monument to the Alamo dead outside the historical site in February 1982. He was initially banned from the Alamo for life, but later pardoned after donating $10,000 to the Daughters of the Republic of Texas.
"Of course, there's the connection here that Ozzy Osbourne himself says he's not very proud of, but he made amends and I told him he's welcome here," councilman Roberto Trevino told the San Antonio Express-News.
"This city has embraced him, and we can forgive people," he added. The Daughters of the Republic of Texas, whose members played a major role in restoring the Alamo in the early 1900s, told KENS5 news they "applaud" Osbourne's apology.
Jack Osbourne came to fame on his family's reality series, The Osbournes, and has since pursued a career as a travel reporter. He appeared on Saving Planet Earth and Haunted Highway, and is developing the new travel show for the History Channel.
