Ozzy Osbourne crowned 'Living Legend' at the Marshall Classic Rock Roll of Honor Awards.

Ozzy Osbourne, solo artist and lead vocalist of heavy metal band Black Sabbath, won the award in honor of his long career, which has spanned four decades.

Past recipients of the accolade include Alice Cooper, Lemmy and Jimmy Page. Guitar legend Slash, the former Guns N' Roses guitarist, presented the award. He also received the Marshall "11" award "for his services to balls-out guns-blazing rock n' roll". Earlier, Osbourne and Slash enjoyed afternoon tea together at the Dorchester Hotel in London. The rock and roll stars showed their softer side as they shared tea and cakes ahead of the big night.

Osbourne joked about his award saying: "I hope I don't die on the way home." Speaking about his nomination award before the ceremony, Osbourne said: "I couldn't be happier to know that Classic Rock haven't written me off! Seriously, it's a great honor and I'm looking forward to going to my first Classic Rock Awards. Can't wait to see you there."

Congrats Ozzy. You fully deserve it you are, and always will be a LEGEND.

Come on, Ozzy, Classic Rock will never write you off. You work has blazed a trail for all aspiring young artists.
Just ask my son, at age 13 he belted out Black Sabbath classics on his guitar at his school dance and they loved it!

What a hilarious image I have in my mind seeing Ozzy and Slash having tea and cakes together. It's just so friggin' funny to an American. Martinis, beers, even a Colorado Bulldog I could see. Tea and crumpets - how friggin' cute. Again, LMFAO.

Love you Ozzy!!!!

What have you done to yourself man? You look amaaazzzzing. You have to let me in on your secrets. Is it running? I remember on your show you run occasionally and when you told your audience to "run for life baby" I took it to heart. I actually started running shortly afterwards.

Congrats on receiving the Living Legend award!!!!

Ozzy Osbourne is and will always will be greatest rock n roll frontman in the world. That's why thousands of Ozzy die hard fans in Wichita want Ozzy to come back with Zakk Wylde. Please satisfy the fans and stop by Wichita on your next tour.

Ozzy, you've gone soft on us. If this were 20 years ago that wouldn't be a cup of tea, it would be a bottle of Vodka and a few lines of coke lined up Lol. Ozzy, you are the greatest

Ozzyyyyyyyy!!!!!!! God of the RocK 'n' roLL

Just want to wish Ozzy a very Happy 60th Birthday, I had the pleasure of meeting Ozzy and Sharon at Walter Reed Army Medical Center when they both came to visit our Wounded Warriors. They are the two most wonderful people you would ever want to meet, we have had numerous celebrities come to WRAMC, but none compared. They even took the time to visit a little girl who was in the pediatric ward, you could see that they genuinely cared, and that their visit was as important to them as it was for our heroes. Again Happy Birthday Ozzy, and may you enjoy many, many more…

When i heard it was Ozzy's 60th i couldn't beleive he is a f***ing legend, Happy B'day Ozzy

I know this isn't a comment that you are looking for. But i wanted to write to the site to let you know I just bought the new Ozzy cd after not hearing him for a lot of years. My niece who was 37 years old died in her sleep on november 14, 2008. We do not know the reason. But she was a biggg Ozzie fan..and her favorite song on his new cd was "goodbye to romance" , which i heard for the first time when we bought it so it could be played at her funeral. It was one of his best songs i have ever heard, and i use to listen to him years ago when i was younger.
Mind you times have changed since the 70's lol...I loved hard rock and alot of the bands from the era.
I wanted to thank ozzie for making a comeback and getting his life back on track. He is a very talented man , and has changed with the times to bring his music up to this eras likes....
Keep up with the good work....

Evelyn

Hey Oz! It's about time they recognize you as The Living Legend. You know you'll always be my favorite vocalist!!!! Suppose that's because you are the best and always will be! Still wish that I could play guitar for you some day...or maybe even open up for you!!!! Big dream huh? You only live once, man! Can't blame a woman for tryin'? You sure have rocked my socks off! Not literally...LOL! L8r
