Sharon Osbourne's Heartfelt Night at the Brit Awards
In a poignant ceremony at the 2026 Brit Awards, Sharon Osbourne and her daughter Kelly accepted a Lifetime Achievement award on behalf of the late Ozzy Osbourne. The event, held at the Co-op Arena in Manchester, was a mix of pride and sorrow for the family, celebrating Ozzy's legendary 56-year career while mourning his absence.
A Family Affair with One Notable Absence
Sharon and Kelly were joined by Louis Osbourne, Ozzy's son from his first marriage, but fans noticed the absence of Jack Osbourne. Speaking to the press on the red carpet, Sharon explained that Jack, a star of I'm a Celebrity …Get Me Out of Here!, could not attend due to his wife Aree Gearhart being due to give birth to their second child any day. Kelly added, "He's sad not to be here, but he's here in spirit," highlighting the family's supportive bond.
Robbie Williams Leads Musical Tribute
The ceremony featured a moving performance by Robbie Williams, who led a supergroup of Ozzy's former bandmates, including Adam Wakeman, Robert Trujillo, Tommy Clufetos, and Zakk Wylde. They closed the show with a rendition of No More Tears, the title track from Ozzy's 1991 album. Sharon praised Robbie, saying, "He's the most warmest, down to earth person," and noted similarities between him and her late husband.
Sharon's Reason to Smile Again
Amid the emotional tribute, Sharon shared her joy about becoming a grandmother again. She revealed she would return to America immediately after the event to help Jack with his children, stating, "The babies are just the best. I think it's the whole reason, you know, to keep going and to smile." This new addition to the family offers a beacon of hope following Ozzy's death at age 76, just 17 days after his final performance in Birmingham.
Memories and Future Projects
During her speech, Sharon reflected on Ozzy's legacy, saying, "If Ozzy was here tonight with us, he would be showing us that gorgeous smile that he had - and I know he would be so proud to receive this from the country that he loved." She also hinted at a forthcoming movie of Ozzy's last concert, with Kelly adding, "It's all under wraps." The family continues to honor his memory through his extensive body of work and upcoming tributes.
