Among the crowd of industry legends, fans, and fellow inductees stood two unmistakable faces sharing the front-row spotlight: his son Jack Osbourne and granddaughter Andy.
While Ozzyās place in the pantheon of rock is undeniableāboth as the frontman of Black Sabbath and a solo artistāit was the deeply personal moment shared between generations of Osbournes that brought an unexpected tenderness to the eveningās chaos.

A Night of Legacy, Loudness, and Love
The 2024 ceremony honored some of rockās most iconic figures, but when Ozzy Osbourne was announced, the entire arena shook with energy. As he made his way to the podium, draped in black with signature eyeliner and that familiar grin, cameras caught Jack lifting young Andy into his arms. She wore a tiny leather jacket, complete with miniature bat wings on the backāa loving nod to her grandfatherās infamous onstage antics.
When Ozzy looked out into the crowd mid-speech and locked eyes with Andy, the room seemed to pause. āIāve done a lot of crazy sh*t in my life,ā he said, his voice weathered but still unmistakably Ozzy, ābut nothingās more important to me than this right hereāmy family. Jack, Andyāthis is for you too. The Osbourne name isnāt just about madness anymore. Itās about legacy.ā
Jack, visibly emotional, nodded toward his father with pride. The moment, subtle and unscripted, grounded the wild world of rock ‘n’ roll in something far more enduring: family.
