Osbourne addressed the selection in an email provided to Billboard. He was previously inducted as a member of Black Sabbath. "I definitely wouldn't say I was confident," Osbourne said regarding his solo success. He added that the 2021 induction of Randy Rhoads, his late songwriting partner, "made me feel we could be on to something. With every new music venture there's always a certain amount of surprise that comes when you see the fans embrace it, because no one wants to make a record and have it flop. I feel like I was invited to a party in 1980, and it hasn't stopped. Not bad for a guy who was fired from his last band." Check out the full list of inductees for the class of 2024 below.
