“I’ll do what I can, sir.” That’s all Wolfgang Van Halen said when he was asked to honor Ozzy Osbourne at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Polite. Humble. Understated. But what came next? Pure chaos—in the best way possible. The second Chad Smith, Robert Trujillo, and Andrew Watt hit their first notes, the air changed. Then Ozzy stormed in, ripping through “Crazy Train” like it was 1981 all over again—wild, loud, and alive. But just when the crowd thought they’d seen it all, Maynard James Keenan and Wolfgang came charging in, guitars blazing, lighting the place on fire. The energy was insane. And it didn’t stop there. Zakk Wylde and Jelly Roll followed up with a haunting, soul-crushing version of “Mama, I’m Coming Home” that had people wiping their eyes. And just when you thought your heart couldn’t take more, Billy Idol exploded onto the stage with “No More Tears,” shaking the walls and blowing the roof straight off. This wasn’t just a tribute. It was a thunderstorm of sound, sweat, and raw emotion—a night no one there will ever forget.

A star-studded lineup of rockers joined forces to honor Ozzy Osbourne during the 2024 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony.

The ceremony kicked off with the one and only Jack Black delivering what can only be described as one of the most epic homages of all time. Black recounted his first time coming across The Price of Darkness’s record, Blizzard of OZ before detailing Osbournes extensive rock/metal history.
