Sharon Osbourne didn’t hold back while accepting a lifetime achievement award for her late husband, Ozzy Osbourne.
The moment occurred at the 2026 BRIT Awards in Manchester, England, on Saturday, Feb. 28, where Sharon accepted the award alongside daughter Kelly Osbourne.
“First of all, what a f---ing good evening it’s been!” Sharon, 73, said, eliciting cheers from the crowd.

“Such amazing artists tonight. I mean, everyone's a winner, everyone,” she added.
Later in her speech, Sharon said that Ozzy personally hated public speaking.
“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 f-ck up!' ” she joked.
“But I’m not going to,” she continued, before praising her late husband’s talent, work ethic and humility.
“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 continued.

“Thank you for loving my father as much as we do,” she said, before cheekily giving a shout-out to her family’s favorite soccer team.
“Up the Villa! Birmingham forever!” she shouted in reference to Birmingham’s soccer club, Aston Villa, a longstanding Manchester rival.

“I never realized just how horrible grief is. I never knew I was capable of loving somebody so much and missing somebody so much,” Kelly said through tears while speaking on a November 2025 episode of their family podcast, The Osbournes. “I just — I never thought there'd be a day where he wouldn't be here.”
“But then how blessed are you to have had a dad like him?” Sharon responded.
