“Ozzy Osbourne has been a mighty force in modern music,” says 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 recognises a remarkable legacy built on originality and enduring influence, that continues to connect with fans worldwide.”
The BRIT Awards 2026 with Mastercard will take place on Saturday 28th February from Manchester’s Co-op Live, broadcast exclusively on ITV and ITVX and hosted by comedian and actor Jack Whitehall.
In a recent interview with Metal Hammer, Zakk Wylde revealed that the forthcoming Black Label Society album, Engines of Demolition, will feature a tribute to Ozzy, which Wylde wrote immediately after the late vocalist's funeral in July.
“I would never have written the song if Ozzy hadn’t passed away, obviously,” says Wylde of Ozzy's Song. “I had the music written, but I didn’t put any lyrics to it. Next thing you know I was back over there [in the UK], laying him to rest, and I had to go back out with Pantera. The next day when I flew home, I had a show at Jones Beach. When I got back from the Pantera celebration, as soon as I got home, is when I wrote the lyrics.”
Engines of Demolition is released on March 27 via Spinefarm Records.
