As Ozzy Osbourne prepares to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Corridor of Fame for a second time, he’s championing the case of one other well-known singer: Billy Idol.
“Billy Idol is a rock icon,” Osbourne declared throughout a current dialog with Rolling Stone. “His music is timeless. Billy Idol needs to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Corridor of Fame.”
Idol has been eligible for the Corridor since 2007, however regardless of a formidable resume — together with over 40 million albums bought and a star on the Hollywood Stroll of Fame — he has by no means been nominated. In 2023, the singer admitted that getting inducted “could be unimaginable.” “It’s a giant thanks to the followers in numerous methods,” Idol defined to Spin on the time. “They actually believed and hung in by way of thick and skinny. In the direction of the top of your profession or life, you get an opportunity to say because of all people as a result of by some means or different, they’ve made my life fucking nice. They let me stay my goals. That was unimaginable. What a present.”
