Curated by Sharon Osbourne
Last updated 27th Feb 2026
Ozzy Osbourne will be posthumously honoured with a BRITs Lifetime Achievement Award at The BRIT Awards 2026 with Mastercard ceremony on Saturday night (28th February).
For the first time ever, this year’s BRITs ceremony will take place outside London at Manchester Co-op Live, and organisers say they’re honouring the late-great Ozzy Osbourne for being a ‘founding member and frontman of Black Sabbath and pioneering ‘godfather’ of British heavy metal’ and ‘in recognition and celebration of his inimitable impact and influence on music worldwide.’
The BRIT Awards ceremony will culminate with an all-star tribute performance of ‘No More Tears’ curated by Ozzy’s wife and manager Sharon Osbourne.
The supergroup will be fronted by Robbie Williams and it will also feature Ozzy’s band of Adam Wakeman, Robert Trujillo, Tommy Clufetos and Zakk Wylde.
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 co-hosted the BRIT Awards ceremony at Earl’s Court in London alongside Sharon, Jack and Kelly back in 2008.
