"Prince of Darkness" Ozzy Osbourne was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for the second time - Rock & Roll Hall of Fame with a tribute to songs from his entire solo career performed by stars such as Billy Idol, Zach Wold, Wolfgang Van Halen, Jelly Roll, Maynard Keenan, Steve Stevens, Robert Trujillo, Chad Smith...
Ozzy sat approvingly on his giant bat throne.
Osbourne told Rolling Stone he was excited to hear each of the vocalists sing his songs, calling Idol a “rock icon” and Keenan “creative force”. “Who doesn’t love a Jelly Roll?” he said. “His voice is soulful. I am so honored that someone I have never met would do this for me”
Steve Stevens, who played in Billy Idol&rsquo ;s band and Wolfgang Van Halen. (Watt also serves as the show's musical director.)
The induction into the hall is Ozzy's second, as he was first honored alongside the other members of Black Sabbath back in 2006. He was long eligible for a nomination as a solo artist, but it became official this year.
