Sharon Osbourne told Daily Mail how being a grandparent was ‘the whole reason to keep going’ following beloved husband Ozzy’s tragic death.

The former X Factor judge, 73, spoke ahead of the late rocker’s posthumous Lifetime Achievement Award honour at Saturday’s BRIT Awards in Manchester.   

As son Jack prepares to welcome his fifth child, second with wife Aree Gearhart, Sharon said of being a grandmother: ‘Oh it’s the best, its the whole reason to keep going, to put a smile on your face’.

She was joined at the awards show by daughter Kelly, 41, who is mum to three-year-old Sidney, with both wearing sweet tributes to the late rocker on their black outfits. 

Sharon showed off a bat shaped broach on her lapel saying: ‘It’s a pin [he] always wore’ while Kelly wore a crucifix which was also owned by Ozzy.

Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy died in July last year aged 76 just two weeks after performing a farewell concert with his bandmates at Villa Park stadium in Birmingham.

The 46th edition of the BRIT Awards took place at Manchester’s Co-op Live Arena for the first time on Saturday. 

During the ceremony Olivia Dean swept the floor as she took home four awards – winning in every category she was nominated for.

The British singer and songwriter, 26, won Best Artist, Best Album, Best Song and Best Pop Act.

In the Song of the Year category Olivia was nominated for two, for her single Man I Need, as well as her song Rein Me In with Sam Fender – which won.

Olivia, 26, became the first woman to claim the UK’s No 1 single and album in the same week since Adele in 2021, with her song Man I Need and album The Art Of Loving, both released in 2025. 

It was a completely different night for Lily Allen who didn’t take home any awards.

While she dominated the charts last year with the release of her fifth studio album West End Girl, Lily Allen failed to beat Miss Dean in categories Artist of the Year, Album of the Year and Best Pop Act categories.

The singer, 40, used the album to chronicle the collapse of her marriage to Stranger Things star David Harbour, 50, and detailed his alleged affair with ‘Madeline’ whilst they were together.

Despite being nominated eight times previously, the Not Fair hitmaker has only ever won one BRIT award and did not attend this year’s ceremony. 

Manchester born Noel Gallagher, 58, was honoured with this year’s Songwriter of the Year award, after he reunited with his brother Liam for their mammoth Oasis reunion tour.
