Sharon Osbourne and her daughter, Kelly, accepted a lifetime achievement award for the late “King of Darkness” Ozzy Osbourne at The BRIT Awards Saturday.

The award show, which is presented by the British Phonographic Industry and recognizes the best in British and international music, honored the late legend with a tribute performance and allowing his family to speak on his behalf.

And Sharon Osbourne didn’t hold back.

“What a (expletive) good evening it’s been,” she started her speech with. “I know that Ozzy is looking down on us all right now, and I know what he is thinking. He hated to make speeches. He hated listening to speeches. He’d be saying, ‘Hey, missus, shut the (expletive) up!’ But I’m not going to.”

The 73-year-old’s speech was met with cheers from the audience, which included Harry Styles, Lola Young and Olivia dean — who swept the award show — among many others.

She praised her late husband’s work and accepted the BRIT Lifetime Achievement Award for him.

“He always wanted to do better, both personally and professionally. He never felt that words were enough to thank everybody for the life that he was given and for the life that he led,” she said. “He may not be here, but he left us one amazing body of work that will never be forgotten by the country that made him.”

She and Kelly weren’t the only popular names honoring the rock and roll legend at the award show. Dolly Parton sent in a video to praise the work he did.

“Ozzy Osbourne dedicated his entire life to music and his legacy has left a permanent imprint in the fabric of music lovers everywhere,” she said the video message. “Ozzy knew how to get your attention with his love of theatrics, his musical gifts — he could turn any occasion into a full-blown show. At his very core, Ozzy Osbourne was a showman.”

Robbie Williams teamed up with living Ozzy Osbourne’s band members Zakk Wylde, Adam Wakeman, Tommy Clufetos and Robert Trujillo to perform a rendition of “No More Tears.”

Ozzy died on July 22 at age 76 of a cardiac arrest and coronary artery disease. His death certificate also cited Parkinson’s disease with autonomic dysfunction as a contributing condition.

His death came weeks after his final live performance on July 5, where he reunited with his Black Sabbath bandmates. The concert was planned to mark the end of Osbourne’s touring career after a 2020 Parkinson’s diagnosis and a spinal surgery forced him to stop performing in 2023.
