Vince Gill Breaks Decades of Silence on the Tragedy That Still Haunts Him — the Plane Crash That Took Randy Rhoads at 25.LC
More than four decades have passed since that terrible morning in Florida, yet the memory still claws at Vince Gill’s heart. In Hulu’s new docuseries Into the Void: Life, Death & Heavy Metal, Vince opens up about the tragedy he has rarely spoken of in public — the plane crash that killed guitarist Randy Rhoads at just 25 years old.
Through trembling whispers, Vince admitted the memory still feels like “a horror movie” — the screaming, the smell of fuel, the unbearable silence that followed. He revealed how Ozzy collapsed in grief, and how he himself unleashed fury at those who let Randy board the doomed plane.
Decades may have passed, but the pain remains as sharp as ever. What Vince finally confessed about that night has left fans shaken all over again.
