Sharon Osbourne was overcome with emotion at the 2026 Grammy Awards on Sunday night as tributes poured in for her late husband Ozzy, and she has now taken to social media to share her gratitude.
The 73-year-old couldn't hold back her tears during the ceremony at Los Angeles' Crypto.com Arena, where the music world came together to honour the Black Sabbath legend who passed away last July aged 76.
It was during Yungblud's acceptance speech for Best Rock Performance that Ms Osbourne truly broke down.
The young rocker had won the award for his cover of Ozzy's hit Changes, which he performed at Black Sabbath's farewell concert at Birmingham's Villa Park in 2025.
