Considering that One Route should not be in the Hall of Fame, there was a second of silence during the ceremony to honor Liam Payne …after the singer’s tragic death last week in Buenos Aires.
By the way… this was Ozzy’s second entry into the HOF, as he bought it again in 2006 along with his former band Black Sabbath. Jelly roll and Billy Idol have come together for a musical tribute to rock’s Prince of Darkness.
Rock and roll, child!!!
