A Night of Farewell and Celebration

On July 5, 2025, Villa Park in Birmingham hosted “Back to the Beginning,” the final Black Sabbath concert. Over 40,000 devoted fans gathered to witness Ozzy Osbourne’s poignant farewell to the stage. His battle with Parkinson’s disease was evident as he performed seated on a gothic, bat-themed throne, pouring every ounce of emotion into classics like “Mama, I’m Coming Home” and “Paranoid.” It was a farewell fitting for a legend, and tears flowed freely among those in attendance.

An Unforgettable Moment Behind the Curtain

Just offstage, however, another moment unfolded—one that felt deeply personal and joyous. Kelly Osbourne, Ozzy’s daughter, found herself at the center of a surprise engagement to her longtime partner, Sid Wilson, best known as the DJ of Slipknot. The proposal was intimate and unscripted, witnessed only by close family and friends.

The Proposal, Captured on Film

Shortly after Ozzy’s final bow, Sid knelt before Kelly, revealing a stunning ring and asking for her hand in marriage. The emotion in Kelly’s eyes said it all as she nodded through tears of happiness. The private exchange was recorded and later shared by Kelly on social media with the simple caption, “Oh—and this happened yesterday!”

Legendary rock matriarch Sharon Osbourne, overcome with emotion, playfully scolded Sid with, “F–k off, you’re not marrying my daughter!” before embracing them both. Jack Osbourne, ever the documentarian, captured every heartfelt reaction on video, preserving this family milestone forever.

A Love Story Years in the Making

Kelly and Sid have been friends since 1999 but only began dating in 2022. Their bond deepened quickly, and they welcomed a son in late 2022. Despite the public’s fascination with both families, they have kept their relationship largely private—making this tender moment backstage all the more special.

Fans and Family Celebrate a New Chapter

News of the engagement spread like wildfire across social platforms. Fans of The Osbournes and Slipknot alike expressed their joy:

  • “What a perfect way to end the Osbourne legacy show!”
  • “Slipknot meets Black Sabbath royalty—pure magic!”
  • “Ozzy’s look of pride was priceless!”

The union felt symbolic: one generation of metal icons passing the torch to the next, uniting two worlds of heavy music in a moment of pure love and celebration.

The Perfect Close to an Era

Kelly’s engagement added a note of hope and new beginnings to an evening steeped in nostalgia and farewell. As Ozzy’s final chords faded into the night sky, backstage laughter and tears intertwined, reminding everyone present that life’s most profound moments often happen offstage.

For those who have followed the Osbourne family’s journey since the early 2000s, this felt like the perfect full-circle moment: bittersweet yet brimming with promise. As the world said goodbye to one chapter of rock history, it also cheered on the blossoming of another.
