Brit Awards 2026: Robbie Williams To Lead Ozzy Osbourne Tribute

Brit Awards organisers have announced plans to honour Ozzy Osbourne’s legacy at this year’s ceremony.

On Thursday evening, it was revealed that the awards show will end with a star-studded musical tribute to the Prince Of Darkness, who died in July at the age of 76.

As well as Ozzy posthumously receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award on Saturday night, the show will also conclude with a rendition of his track No More Tears, curated by his wife Sharon Osbourne.

Robbie Williams will lend his voice to the performance, which will also feature several musicians who worked with Ozzy over the years, including Adam Wakeman, Robert Trujillo, Tommy Clufetos and Zakk Wylde.

Ozzy and Sharon previously hosted the Brit Awards back in 2008, alongside their two youngest children, Kelly and Jack Osbourne.

Brit Awards committee chair Stacey Tang 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.”

This year’s Brits will also feature performances from British stars like Harry Styles, Raye, Olivia Dean and Wolf Alice, as well as international talent including Rosalía, Alex Warren and Sombr.

Ejae, Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami – better known as the singing voices of KPop Demon Hunters’ Huntr/x – have also pre-recorded a performance as part of the night’s proceedings, with Mark Ronson set to perform a medley to celebrate his Outstanding Contribution win.

Olivia Dean and Lola Young are going into this year’s Brits with the most nominations, with Jacob Alon already unveiled as the latest recipient of the Critics’ Choice Award and PinkPantheress making pop history with her Producer Of The Year win.

Noel Gallagher is also set to be honoured with the Songwriter Of The Year title in a controversial move given he’s not actually released any new music in the last 12 months.

The 2026 Brit Awards will air live on Saturday 28 February at 8.15pm on ITV1.
