Tonight on October 19th, 2024, Ozzy Osbourne was inducted into The Rock And Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist. Seated on a Gothic black throne festooned with skulls and a giant bat, Ozzy was seated on one corner of the stage for that entire portion of the ceremony next to actor/musician Jack Black, who made the induction speech. Ozzy thanked “whoever voted for him, his fans, Randy Rhoads, his wife Sharon Osbourne for saving his life,” and more! A three-song medley-style performance took place featuring his own recent and former band members Zakk Wylde (Black Label Society/Pantera), Andrew Watt (Post Malone), Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers/Chicken Foot), Robert Trujillo (Metallica, Jerry Cantrell) as well as Maynard James Keenan (Tool, a perfect circle, Puscifer), Jelly Roll, Wolfgang Van Halen (Van Halen, Mammoth WVH), Billy Idol, and Stevie Stevens. After the performance, each performer went up to Ozzy to hug him and thank him. His hometown of Birmingham, England paid tribute to him today in a video message. Ozzy was inducted into the Rock Hall on the same day his album No More Tears (Epic Records) earned Quintuple-Platnum designation for five million in sales.   Continue reading →

Posted on by


The Ronnie James Dio Stand Up and Shout Cancer Fund (https://www.diocancerfund.org), founded in memory of the late rock legend, will commemorate what would have been Dio’s 78th birthday on July 10 with a video in which rock music celebrities talk about what Ronnie and his music has meant to them. Dio lost his months-long battle with gastric cancer 10 years ago, and the charity founded after his passing has raised more than $2 million to fight the disease that took his life. Largely compiled from red carpet interviews with celebrity guests at various Dio Cancer Fund events, including the 10th Anniversary Awards Gala held at the Avalon in Hollywood in February (see our coverage here) just before the pandemic shutdown, the video contains special video messages from Rob Halford and Geezer Butler, who were close friends of Dio’s. Among those also expressing their thoughts are Dave Grohl, Jack Black, Rudy Sarzo, Craig Goldy, Scott Warren, Simon Wright and Vinny Appice of the Dio band, Fred Coury, Robbie Crane and Ricky Warwick of Black Star Riders, Ahmet Zappa, Joey Vera, Glenn Hughes, Jeff Pilson, Doug Aldrich, Terry Ilous and Eddie Trunk, who hosts most of the Dio Cancer Fund events.Continue reading →
