It's Official: OZZY OSBOURNE And FOREIGNER Are Among 2024 ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME Inductees in c/[email protected]

Ozzy the man was already in from Black Sabbath. But Ozzy Osbourne the band is in now. Their first six albums (through No More Tears) are as good as any other band in metal.

I assume this means Randy, Zakk, Jake E. Lee, etc are in.

Curious to see what they do about the bassist and drummer who sued and were subsequently removed from the reissue of Blizzard of Oz and Diary.

EDIT: Looks like Randy has been in the hall of fame on his own since 2021. TIL.
