Ozzy Osbourne Honored with Lifetime Achievement Award and All

After a video tribute, Dolly Parton appeared via video from Nashville to honor Ozzy, saying, “His legacy has left a permanent imprint on music lovers everywhere,” before introducing Sharon Osbourne.

Sharon then made her way to the stage in Manchester, flanked by her daughter Kelly, and Louis Osbourne, Ozzy’s son from his first marriage.

“I’m honored to accept this award for my gorgeous husband. God knows I wish he was here to accept it himself… Ozzy is looking down on us right now… He rose to become one of the most recognizable and respected musicians. … To be honest with you, he was the most humble egomaniac you will ever meet. At the end of the day, he will always be a rock star… If Ozzy was here tonight … he would be so proud to receive this from the country that he loved.”

After Sharon’s speech, UK singer Robbie Williams sang Ozzy’s solo classic “No More Tears,” backed by members of the late metal legend’s solo band over the years, including guitarist Zakk Wylde, bassist Robert Trujillo, drummer Tommy Clufetos, and keyboardist Adam Wakeman.

Williams delivered a powerful vocal, while Wylde got the spotlight when he performed an electrifying solo in the middle of the song.
