Legendary rock’n’roll couple Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne preside over the The BRITs 2008 when the UK’s biggest and most prestigious music awards returns live to ITV1 on February 20th.

Some of the greatest artists from Britain and around the world will take to the stage on a night which will mark the 28th anniversary of The BRITs. Exclusive performances will come from Kylie Minogue, Kaiser Chiefs, Leona Lewis, Rihanna, Mark Ronson and Mika. Sir Paul McCartney will play what is sure to be an electric set for the Earls Court crowd to celebrate receiving his Outstanding Contribution to Music award.

Sharon Osbourne said of hosting the biggest and most anticipated music party of the year: “The thing I’m most looking forward to is working with Ozzy again. We’re not nervous. What is there to be nervous about - this is music! We are not hosting the Nobel Peace awards - we just want to make this awards show great fun.”

Sharon also revealed that if she could manage just one of the British bands nominated for an award it would be comeback kings Take That who are up for four BRIT awards. “I haven’t managed anyone outside of my own family in years but if I had to it would be Take That. I saw their live show in London at the end of 2007 and it was one of the best live shows I have seen in years. I think they are hard working, very talented and have so much dignity.”

Rock’s first couple remain tight lipped about who they would like to see take home a BRIT saying, “everyone who is nominated deserves to win” while naming their all time favourite BRITs moment as the time Jarvis Cocker stormed the stage during Michael Jackson’s controversial performance!
