Ozzy Osbourne has hailed his MTV European Music Award win as "incredible", after picking up the Global Icon prize.

Honoured at the ceremony held in Glasgow, Scotland last night (November 9, 2014), his 40-year career and contribution to the music industry was celebrated.

Speaking on the red carpet, Ozzy said: "I can't believe it, it's just incredible."

Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash presented the award and talked about the incident when Ozzy bit off the head of a bat during a live show in Iowa in 1982.

"For four decades the Prince of Darkness has rocked anyone who dared to listen.

"This is a guy who does not know how to do ordinary. He scares the hell out of most people and all bats. But to me is a gentle man and a gentleman."

When given the award Ozzy joked: "I don't know where they got this icon s**t from but it's good to be here tonight. God bless you all, thank you for coming."

Sharon Osbourne praised her husband of 32 years after the show, saying: "I'm so proud. It's his night. I just want him to have the best time."
