Ozzy Osbourne Honored Posthumously at BRIT Awards

Ozzy Osbourne, a monumental figure in rock music, will receive a posthumous Lifetime Achievement Award at the BRIT Awards this Saturday, February 28. The ceremony will feature a show-closing tribute performance led by Robbie Williams, who will perform a special arrangement of "No More Tears." This iconic track is from Osbourne's successful 1991 solo album. Musicians who previously played in Osbourne's band, including Adam Wakeman, Robert Trujillo, Tommy Clufetos, and Zakk Wylde, will join Williams for the performance. The entire segment has been thoughtfully curated by Osbourne's widow, Sharon Osbourne.

Osbourne's unparalleled impact on modern music has been recognized with numerous accolades throughout his career. He was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame twice: with Black Sabbath in 2019 and as a solo artist in 2024. His impressive list of honors also includes five Grammy awards, induction into the UK Music Hall of Fame, and an Ivor Novello Award for Lifetime Achievement with Black Sabbath. Stacey Tang, chair of the 2026 BRIT Awards Committee, highlighted Osbourne's distinctive voice and unique presence, stating that he "reshaped the sound and spirit of rock."
