Ozzy Osbourne will be honoured as a legend at this year's Kerrang! rock awards.
The 62-year-old from Birmingham will be given the prize at a ceremony in London on 9 June and is also playing a show in the capital in the same month to mark the rock magazine's 30th anniversary.
He said: "It's an incredible honour to be the second recipient of Kerrang's legend award. I'm looking forward to you going crazy at the 30th Anniversary on 21 June in Hammersmith."
Ozzy Osbourne rose to fame with heavy metal band Black Sabbath before starting a solo career in 1980.
He also starred in a reality show about his family for MTV which also featured wife Sharon, son Jack and one of his daughters Kelly, which at the time was a real first in television.
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."
