Ryan Seacrest and Lionel Richie, who is already in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, revealed the full list of artists during Sunday night’s episode of American Idol. During the show, the 12 remaining contestants performed classic songs from previous inductees.

More performers to make the cut include Cher, Dave Matthews Band, Kool & The Gang, Peter Frampton, and Foreigner. Additionally, the Musical Influence Award goes to Alexis Korner, John Mayall, and Big Mama Thornton. The Musical Excellence Award, on the other hand, goes to Jimmy Buffett, MC5, Dionne Warwick, and Norman Whitfield.

Osbourne addressed the selection in an email provided to Billboard. He was previously inducted as a member of Black Sabbath. “I definitely wouldn’t say I was confident,” Osbourne said regarding his solo success. He added that the 2021 induction of Randy Rhoads, his late songwriting partner, “made me feel we could be on to something. With every new music venture there’s always a certain amount of surprise that comes when you see the fans embrace it, because no one wants to make a record and have it flop. I feel like I was invited to a party in 1980, and it hasn’t stopped. Not bad for a guy who was fired from his last band.” Check out the full list of inductees for the class of 2024 below.
