AceShowbiz - The 2026 BRIT Awards featured a powerful tribute to Ozzy Osbourne, with Robbie Williams leading an all-star band in a memorable performance of "No More Tears."
Williams, a longtime admirer of Osbourne and close to the family, was joined onstage by notable musicians who have worked with the rock legend. These included guitarist Zakk Wylde, Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo, Black Sabbath reunion drummer Tommy Clufetos, and keyboardist Adam Wakeman from Osbourne's band.
The tribute served as the grand finale of the award ceremony and coincided with Osbourne receiving the BRIT Awards' lifetime achievement honor posthumously. His wife, Sharon Osbourne, and daughter Kelly Osbourne accepted the award on his behalf. The Osbourne family has a history with the event, having hosted the BRIT Awards in 2008.
During her acceptance speech, Sharon Osbourne reflected on Osbourne's remarkable career, highlighting that he remained at the peak of his craft for 56 years despite the challenges of the music industry. She described him as a genuine and gifted artist who rose from humble beginnings in Birmingham to global recognition and respect.
The BRIT Awards salute follows similar tributes to Osbourne in the United States, where he was honored at the MTV Video Music Awards and the Grammy Awards. At the Grammys, artists like Post Malone, producer-guitarist Andrew Watt, Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith, and Guns N' Roses members Slash and Duff McKagan performed "War Pigs" in his memory.
This series of tributes underscores Ozzy Osbourne's lasting influence on rock music and his enduring legacy as a two-time Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee and iconic figure in the genre.
