Ozzy Osbourne has ended his near 29-year awards drought at the Grammys – less than a week after announcing he is stepping back from touring amid poor health.

The 74-year-old ex-Black Sabbath singer secured the gong for best rock album for his 13th solo record, Patient Number 9, released in September last year, during a pre-ceremony event.
