The BRIT Awards will honour the late Ozzy Osbourne with a Lifetime Achievement Award at Saturday night's ceremony.
Honouring the impact of the "Prince of Darkness" as both a solo artist and the founding frontman of Black Sabbath, the evening will culminate with in an all-star tribute featuring a special performance of No More Tears, the title track from Ozzy's 1991 album of the same name, personally curated by Sharon Osbourne.
Joining the celebration will be former bandmates Adam Wakeman, Robert Trujillo, Tommy Clufetos, and Zakk Wylde, with Robbie Williams taking over lead vocals for the night. 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 mighty force in modern music. Possessing an unmistakable voice and unique presence, he reshaped the sound and spirit of rock, inspiring generations of artists who followed. This Lifetime Achievement Award recognises a remarkable legacy built on originality and enduring influence, that continues to connect with fans worldwide."
Ozzy Osbourne died in July last year at the age of 76. With more than 100 million albums sold over five decades, he is one of rock and metal's most influential figures having defined generations of heavy music.
