The festivities for the Prince of Darkness \u2014 who died<\/a> in July at the age of 76 \u2014\u00a0included\u00a0a video message from country star Dolly Parton<\/a>, who said: “Ozzy Osbourne\u00a0dedicated his entire life to music, and his legacy has left a permanent imprint in the fabric of music lovers everywhere. Now talk about stealing the show.”<\/p>\n

Parton then introduced Sharon Osbourne<\/a>, who took the stage alongside her daughter Kelly<\/a> and Osbourne\u2019s son from his first marriage, Louis.<\/p>\n

“I’m honored to accept this award for my gorgeous husband,\u201d Sharon said. \u201cI know that\u00a0Ozzy\u00a0is looking down on us all right now, and I know what he\u2019s thinking. He hated to make speeches. He hated listening to speeches. And he\u2019ll be saying, \u2018Hey, Missus, shut the f\u2014k up. Just say thank you and get off that stage.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Sharon continued: \u201cThe thing is, Ozzy was authentic. He was gifted. Totally unpredictable. A wild man. He was a true artist. He came from a small working-class neighborhood in Birmingham and he rose to become one of the most recognizable and respected musicians.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite Ozzy\u2019s incredible success, Sharon said, \u201cTo be honest with you, he was the most humble egomaniac you could ever meet. And yes, at the end of the day, he will always be a rock star. … If\u00a0Ozzy\u00a0was here tonight with us, he would be showing us that gorgeous smile that he had, and I know he would be so proud to receive this from the country that he loved.”<\/p>\n

Sharon closed her speech with a simple and characteristically off-color declaration: \u201cThere will never be another Ozzy f\u2014ing Osbourne.\u201d<\/p>\n

Who\u00a0Took Part in Ozzy Osbourne’s All-Star Brit Awards Tribute?<\/p>\n
