Ozzy Osbourne is the ultimate rock & roll survivor. He has persevered through addictions, accidents, illnesses, and conditions that would’ve felled almost anyone else. His seemingly superhuman constitution and indomitable will to carry on have kept him going well into his seventh decade. However, Osbourne is not being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame for the second time – with Black Sabbath in 2006 and now as a solo artist – because of his survival skills. His considerable talent as a singer, songwriter, bandleader, performer, and hard-rocking standard-bearer have earned him this honor.
