Kelly Osbourne Accepts Ozzy's Lifetime Award in Birmingham

Kelly Osbourne accepted a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Birmingham Awards on behalf of her late father, Ozzy Osbourne, breaking down in tears and thanking the city for its support. She said Ozzy — a proud Brummie who returned to Birmingham in his final weeks and insisted his last concert at Villa Park be there — would have loved the honor. The Black Sabbath frontman died on July 22 at age 76 after his farewell show; his family cited long-term health struggles including Parkinson’s disease, and reports have described cardiac arrest/acute myocardial infarction. Kelly and her brother Jack called the final gig almost a “living wake,” and Kelly posted on Instagram to thank fans and honor his legacy. Ozzy’s widow Sharon Osbourne has also been described as heartbroken following the recent death of the family dog Elvis, compounding the family’s mourning.
