The UK's Daily Record recently reported that Ozzy is preparing to return to the stage for the first time in over a year at the ceremony, despite struggling with mobility issues that make it difficult for him to walk or stand for extended periods.
Sources close to the Black Sabbath frontman say he has informed his band that he will travel from his home in Los Angeles, California to be part of the celebration.
Ozzy Osbourne, Peter Frampton, Foreigner, and MC5 are among the 16 artists named to the 2024 Inductee Class for The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame. The complete list can be viewed below.
“It’s still hard to believe I’m about to be a two-time inductee into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame,” Ozzy Osbourne said. “I’m really looking forward to attending the induction ceremony in Cleveland this October. More importantly, I am so blessed to have had such an incredible career with amazing fans who have stuck by me through thick and thin over the years.”
