Ozzy Osbourne to be declared a Global Icon

Ozzy Osbourne is set to have his legendary status cemented when he is declared as a ‘Global Icon’ at the 2014 MTV EMA’s next month.

The veteran rock superstar will collect the Global Icon Award from the 2014 MTV European Music Awards, which are set to be held at the SSE Hydro in Glasgow on Sunday, 9th November. The prestigious event, which will be hosted by Nicki Minaj, is one of the biggest global music events of the year and aims to celebrate the hottest artists from around the world.

With more 120 million album sales under his belt and a career that spans four decades, Ozzy certainly deserves the accolade. Former recipients of the award include Eminem (in 2013), Whitney Houston (in 2012), Queen (in 2011) and Bon Jovi (in 2010).

Fans can now vote for their favourite artists across all 2014 MTV EMA categories at www.mtvema.com . Voting will close on 8th November 2014 at 11:59pm.
