Ozzy Osbourne is getting a six-meter statue at this year’s Hellfest, and Sharon Osbourne has confirmed the whole family plans to be there for the unveiling.
The annual open-air festival in Clisson, France — one of Europe’s largest metal events — runs 06/18 through 06/21, with the statue set to greet attendees near the entrance on opening day.
Sharon revealed the first image of the sculpture during a 02/06 appearance at MIDEM 2026 at the Palais des Festivals in Cannes. Her reaction on seeing it left little room for interpretation: “Oh, there he is. Look at him, a rock god. That is going to debut at Hellfest, and that is June 18th. And the whole family will be there to see it.”
She also directed praise toward Hellfest director Ben Barbaud: “It’s such a great tribute. It’s amazing. So, I can only thank Ben. Just bless you. It’s an amazing piece of art.”
The move puts Ozzy in notable company at the festival grounds. Back in June 2022, Hellfest unveiled a statue of Mötörhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister — a replacement for an earlier sculpture of the bassist that had been erected six years prior but had deteriorated badly due to crumbling plaster.
