How do you induct the Prince of Darkness into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame?
With an all-star celebration.
Jelly Roll stepped up next, singing Osbournes iconic power ballad Mama, Im Coming Home.

The whole tribute took place as Ozzy sat in approval on his gigantic bat throne.
He was especially excited to hear Jelly Roll.
Who doesnt love Jelly Roll?
His voice is soulful, pure, and dirty.
Im so honored that someone would do this for me who Ive never had the pleasure of meeting.
He was similarly excited about the guitarists who would be playing his songs.
The guitarists at the Rock Hall delivered those qualities with aplomb.
(Watt also served as music director for the performance.)
You honestly couldnt get a better rhythm section than Robert Trujillo and Chad Smith, Osbourne toldRolling Stone.
He was eligible for nomination as a solo artist that year but wasnt nominated officially until this year.
He was voted in immediately.
I dont know what to think, Osbourne said earlier in October.
Im still in shock that Im getting inducted for a second time.
But at the same time, Im very excited.
