The moment Jelly Roll stepped on that Hall of Fame stage to honor Ozzy Osbourne, the air crackled with electricity. As his gravelly voice tore through “Mama, I’m Coming Home,” something magical happened; 20,000 rock fans witnessed a country outlaw channeling the Prince of Darkness’ spirit with such raw power, even Ozzy himself wiped away tears from his bat throne.

Filmed at Cleveland’s Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, Jelly’s October 2024 tribute became instant rock history. Backed by members of Red Hot Chili Peppers, he transformed Ozzy’s ballad into a gospel-tinged confession; his tattooed arms shaking as he hit that iconic chorus, proving country and metal share the same wounded, triumphant heart.

Social media erupted: “Jelly didn’t cover Ozzy; he resurrected him,” one fan tweeted. The clip went viral with 5M+ views in days, as metalheads and country fans united in awe. Even Sharon Osbourne later called it “the most beautiful tribute my Ozzy ever received” the ultimate seal of approval.
