The BRIT Awards 2026 have announced a double Ozzy Osbourne tribute for their ceremony this weekend.
The Prince Of Darkness will be honoured with the Lifetime Achievement award, which is ‘in recognition and celebration of his inimitable impact and influence on music worldwide’.
Not only that, but Sharon Osbourne has curated an all-star tribute for her late husband to close out the whole ceremony at Manchester’s Co-op Live on Saturday, February 28.
British pop superstar Robbie Williams is set to lead a performance of No More Tears, with various members of Ozzy’s live band over the years – Adam Wakeman, Robert Trujillo, Tommy Clufetos and Zakk Wylde – backing him.
“Ozzy Osbourne has been a mighty force in modern music,” says Stacey Tang, Chair of the 2026 BRIT Awards Committee and Co-President of RCA Records at Sony Music UK. “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.”
