Last year, Stoke-on-Trent born artist Williams teamed up with Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi for the single Rocket and has previously performed sections of Paranoid at a live performance.
The Brits performance will also feature musicians that played as part of Ozzy’s band over the years: Adam Wakeman, Robert Trujillo, Tommy Clufetos and Zakk Wylde.
Ozzy himself previously hosted The Brit Awards in 2008, along with Sharon and his two children, Kelly and Jack.
It follows tributes at the US Grammys, where Post Malone, Slash, Duff McKagan, Chad Smith, and Andrew Watt performed a cover of War Pigs.
Stacey Tang, chair of the 2026 Brit Awards Committee and co-president of RCA Records at Sony Music UK, said: “Ozzy Osbourne has been a mighty force in modern music.
“Possessing an unmistakable voice and unique presence, he reshaped the sound and spirit of rock, inspiring generations of artists who followed.
“This Lifetime Achievement Award recognises a remarkable legacy built on originality and enduring influence, that continues to connect with fans worldwide.”
Osbourne racked up more than 100 million worldwide album sales over five decades, including 19 studio albums and eight live albums with Black Sabbath and another 13 studio albums as a solo artist.
His industry accolades include five Grammy awards, induction into both the UK Music Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame – both with Black Sabbath and as a solo artist, in separate years – and the Ivor Novello Award for Lifetime Achievement, with Black Sabbath.
