Not only does Ozzy stop in West Palm Beach to play shows on his own, he also organizes the annual Ozzfest. Radio host Jeremy Loper, from the Buzz 103.1 Morning Buzz show, gets involved with the annual music fest with his station every year and is happy the rocker is being honored.

"Ozzfest had started off here every year for a long time, and Ozzy and Sharon always stayed in West Palm Beach," Loper said. "We want to say thank you to Ozzy and his family for all of the memories, and we thought this was the best idea to do that."

The award ceremony will take place on Friday at 5:00 pm at Centennial Square in West Palm. Immediately after, fans can head over to Barnes & Noble in Palm Beach Gardens at 6:00 pm for a book signing with Osbourne. The former Black Sabbath lead singer's new autobiography, "I Am Ozzy," recently entered the NY Times Best sellers list at No. 2. To attend the signing, fans must purchase the book at the Palm Beach Barnes & Noble after 2 p.m. on Friday to receive a wristband that will be required for the signing line.
