BRIT Awards 2026 Honors Ozzy Osbourne with Posthumous Award

The BRIT Awards 2026 will honor the late rock icon Ozzy Osbourne with a posthumous Lifetime Achievement Award during the ceremony on Saturday, February 28, at Manchester's Co-op Live arena. The event will close with a special tribute performance curated by Osbourne's widow, Sharon Osbourne, featuring a rendition of his 1991 hit "No More Tears."

The performance will spotlight British singer Robbie Williams on lead vocals, joined by musicians who backed Osbourne in his live band over the years: keyboardist Adam Wakeman, bassist Robert Trujillo, drummer Tommy Clufetos, and guitarist Zakk Wylde. Williams, a longtime fan and friend of the Osbourne family, accepted Sharon's personal invitation to front the all-star lineup.

"Ozzy Osbourne has been a mighty force in modern music," said 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 recognizes a remarkable legacy built on originality and enduring influence that continues to connect with fans worldwide."
