Heavy metal legend Ozzy Osbourne had a top 24 story of May 2024 after he and his family discussed his nervousness over the acceptance speech to the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame on an episode of The Osbournes podcast.
Ozzy went on to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame as a solo artist in October. He was previously inducted as a member of Black Sabbath. During the episode, his son Jack mentioned the upcoming solo induction and Ozzy suggested that he should "start rehearse the **** speech now, I'll **** it up." His daughter Kelly then added, "for those listening, one of my father's least favorite things in the world to do it give a speech and I get it. Is not a fun thing."
Jack then made the suggestion that they Ozzy could get British comedian Ricky Gervais to appear on his behalf. Jack joked, "you know who you should do, get to do your speech, Ricky Gervais, he's great at awards ceremonies. Wouldn't that be amazing, it you just came out with Ricky Gervais and he just gave your speech for you and you were just like yep." Sharon added, "yep he's right, he's got it."
