While climbing the ranks of country music, Jelly Roll continues to showcase his love for all types of music. And when given the opportunity to honor Ozzy, the singer appeared ecstatic to share such a moment with the Prince of Darkness. With the stage full of stars like Billy Idol and Chad Smith, Jelly Roll took center stage to cover “Mama, I’m Coming Home” as Ozzy watched from the corner.
Jelly Roll Grateful For The Opportunity
Even before Jelly Roll attended the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, the singer expressed how shocked he was to be part of the celebration. He wrote on Twitter, “Going to honor the incredible Ozzy Osbourne as he is inducted into the hall of fame tonight. These are the moments I never even dreamed of. I remember listening to No More Tears in our living room with the whole family. CRAZY I was a kid. Thank you God for another undeserved opportunity.”
Thankful for the moment, fans filled the comment section with love and praise for Jelly Roll. And they made sure he knew how hard he worked to get there. “Why undeserved? You work your ass off and make music that the people love. You deserve all the success and opportunity that comes your way. Don’t let imposter syndrome hold you back from the credibility you’ve earned.” Another person added, “Ozzy & Black Sabbath is ONE of, if not my FAVORITE artist bro! #RespectToYou my dude! You’re FAST becoming one of MY faves too. Thanks to my #Wife for introducing me to your music man. LIKE YOU, I rebuilt my life after f**kin’ it up beyond repair, though rightly not as well as you.”
Easily one of the best tributes at the Rock Hall, Jelly Roll once again added his name to a memorable moment in music history.
