OZZY OSBOURNE To Receive KERRANG! Rock Legend Award

April 13, 2011

Ozzy Osbourne will play an exclusive, one-off show at London, England's Hammersmith Apollo on June 21 as part of Kerrang! magazine's 30th-birthday celebrations. The former BLACK SABBATH singer will also be honored with the Legend Award at this year's Kerrang! Awards on June 9.

"It's an incredible honor to be the second recipient of Kerrang!'s Legend Award," said Ozzy, "and I'm looking forward to you all going 'fucking crazy' at the 30th-anniversary party at the Hammersmith Apollo!"

Kerrang! editor Nichola Browne said: "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.

"Ozzy has been the mainstay of rock music. During his long and colorful 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 fucking crazy' during his unmissable live shows. He's a much-loved, larger-than-life personality, and it is only fitting that we will be honoring Ozzy with the prestigious Legend Award at this year's Kerrang! Awards."

The awards, voted for by readers, will once again be hosted by SLIPKNOT/STONE SOUR frontman Corey Taylor and ANTHRAX/THE DAMNED THINGS guitarist Scott Ian.
