Ozzy Osbourne to be honoured with Legend Award

By Raymond Ronamai

Ozzy Osbourne will be honoured with Kerrang Awards at a ceremony to be held on June 9. The former Black Sabbath singer will be receiving the rock magazine's Legend Award. The Kerrang Awards, voted for by readers, will be hosted by Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor and Anthrax and The Damned Things guitarist Scott Ian.

Ozzy Osbourne will also perform at the HMV Hammersmith Apollo in the UK capital on June 21 to mark the 30th anniversary of the magazine. “It's an incredible honour to be the second recipient of Kerrang's Legend Award. I'm looking forward to you going crazy at the 30th Anniversary on 21 June in Hammersmith," Contactmusic quoted the singer as saying.

“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.
