On Friday’s Late Late Show Country Music Special, Margo O’Donnell was inducted into the Hall of Fame. Her brother and fellow country star Daniel O’Donnell presented the accolade, and Margo received a standing ovation from the audience. She was moved to tears when host Ryan Tubridy told her she was to receive the prestigious award.
Margo dedicated her induction to her late friend Big Tom, saying “I just want to dedicate this in memory of my friend, Big Tom.” Daniel praised his sister, saying “It gives me great pleasure to be the one chosen to do this. Margaret was there at the beginning… I am thrilled, and nobody deserves this more than you for all you have done for so many people.”
Margo now joins her brother Daniel and Queen of Country Philomena Begley in the Hall of Fame. The O’Donnells have a close bond, and Margo has spoken of her newfound appreciation for her brother during lockdown. She said, “I had time to recap on everything during lockdown when nobody was going anywhere. I did a lot of reading, research and reflecting. I discovered that I didn’t realize how much I loved Daniel. I had suppressed the love, maybe because I was hurt a lot in life and in love, but during Covid I have thought a lot about my pride in Daniel. It’s like I gave myself permission to feel and to acknowledge those feelings.”
Margo’s achievements in the music industry are significant, but Daniel believes her real success is in the way she has overcome adversity in her personal life. He said, “Being able to overcome all of the negativity in her life may have helped people even more. With her opening up about her problems with drink and getting help, she could help others to do the same. There is a reason for everything that happens to people in life.”
Margo’s story is an inspiration to many, and her induction into the Hall of Fame is a well-deserved recognition of her contribution to country music. Her dedication to her late friend Big Tom and her love for her brother Daniel are reflective of her kind and compassionate nature, which has endeared her to fans and peers alike.
