“We
are
so
unbelievably
excited
to
have
Ozzy
play
this
very
special
show
for
our
30th
birthday
celebrations
in
June.
We
are
privileged
that
the
'Prince
of
Darkness' can
help
us
mark
this
momentous
milestone
in
style
and
it's
guaranteed
to
be
a
night
to
remember.
During
his
long
and
colourful
career,
he's
not
only
helped
define
heavy
metal
as
the
voice
of
Black
Sabbath,
he's
also
enjoyed
a
three-decade
reign
as
a
solo
artist
and
inspired
thousands
of
rock
fans
to
go
crazy
during
his
unmissable
live
shows.
He's
a
much-loved,
larger-than-life
personality,
and
it
is
only
fitting
that
we
will
be
honouring
Ozzy
with
the
prestigious
Legend
Award
at
this
year's
Kerrang!
Awards,"
said
Kerrang!
editor
Nichola
Browne.
