The BRIT Awards will honor Ozzy Osbourne with the Life Time Achievement Award at the ceremony on Saturday 28 February.
The acclaimed heavy metal star, known as the Prince of Darkness, died aged 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 by Ozzy’s wife, Sharon Osbourne, to be part of the show due to his 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 is 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 with his family Sharon, Kelly and Jack.
Stacey Tang, Chair of the 2026 BRIT Awards Committee and Co-President of RCA Records at Sony Music UK said: ‘Ozzy Osbourne has been a powerful force in modern music. With an unmistakable voice and singular presence, he reshaped the sound and spirit of rock and inspired generations of artists that followed.
‘This Lifetime Achievement Award recognizes a remarkable legacy built on originality and enduring influence that continues to connect with fans around the world.’
Ozzy died aged 76 at his Buckinghamshire home on July 22 after suffering an ‘acute myocardial infarction’ and ‘out-of-hospital cardiac arrest’.
