Rock legend Ozzy Osbourne has been inducted as a solo artist into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Birmingham’s 75-year-old Prince of Darkness received a standing ovation from an all-star band and the 20,000-capacity crowd in Cleveland, Ohio, at the weekend.
The diverse group of inductees this year also included: Mary J Blige, Cher, Peter Frampton, Foreigner, A Tribe Called Quest and the Dave Matthews Band.
Osbourne saved his biggest thank you for his family. His wife Sharon, daughter Kelly and her son, Sidney, were in the audience.
Osbourne, who has Parkinson’s disease, was previously inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2006 as a member of Black Sabbath, which he formed in 1968. He has since sold 100 million records, both as a solo artist and with the band.
