The BRIT Awards will honor Ozzy Osbourne with the Life Time Achievement Award during the ceremony on Saturday, February 28.
The renowned heavy metal star, known as the Prince of Darkness, passed away at the age of 76 last year and will be honored for his outstanding contribution to the music industry.
There will be a series of tribute performances led by Robbie Williams, who was personally asked to be part of the show by Ozzy’s wife Sharon Osbourne due to her long association with the Osbourne family.
Curated by Sharon herself, it will feature a special arrangement of No More Tears, the title track from Ozzy’s multi-million-selling 1991 album of the same name.
Robbie will be joined on stage by Ozzy’s lead guitarist Zakk Wylde, as well as Adam Wakeman, Robert Trujillo and Tommy Clufetos.
Interestingly, Ozzy himself hosted the BRIT Awards in 2008 alongside his family Sharon, Kelly and Jack.
Stacey Tang, Chair of the BRIT 2026 Awards Committee and Co-Chair of RCA Records at Sony Music UK, said: ‘Ozzy Osbourne has been a powerful force in modern music. Possessing an unmistakable voice and a unique presence, he reshaped the sound and spirit of rock, inspiring generations of artists who followed him.
“This Lifetime Achievement Award recognizes a remarkable legacy built on originality and lasting influence, which continues to connect with fans around the world.”
Ozzy passed away at the age of 76 at his home in Buckinghamshire on July 22 after suffering an “acute myocardial infarction” and “out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.”
