CONGRATULATIONS: Kelly Osbourne, Daughter of Black Sabbath’s Ozzy Osbourne, Engaged During Her Father’s Concert at Villa Park, Birmingham……
BIRMINGHAM, UK — July 5, 2025: In a spectacular fusion of family, music, and love, Kelly Osbourne, daughter of legendary Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne, got engaged to her longtime partner Sid Wilson during her father’s emotional farewell concert at Villa Park, Birmingham. The announcement sent shockwaves through the crowd and the rock community, transforming an already historic night into a deeply personal celebration.
The evening was a culmination of decades of rock history, with Black Sabbath taking the stage in their hometown for what was billed as their final performance. As the crowd of nearly 40,000 fans roared in appreciation for the metal pioneers, a quieter but equally momentous event was unfolding behind the scenes.
After the final encore and as the band took their bows, Kelly Osbourne was led backstage by Sid Wilson—known globally as the DJ and turntablist for Slipknot. Surrounded by close friends, family members, and crew, Wilson dropped to one knee and proposed to Kelly in a setting rich with emotion, legacy, and familial pride.
> “Kelly, you’ve stood by me through everything. You’ve given me strength, joy, and our son. Will you marry me?” Wilson said, his voice reportedly trembling with emotion.
Kelly, 40, tearfully said “Yes!” as her family erupted in cheers. Ozzy, seated nearby due to health concerns, cheekily shouted, “You’d better treat her like royalty, mate!”—drawing laughter from those present and reminding everyone that even in intimate moments, the Prince of Darkness never loses his charm.
A Moment That Rocked the Crowd—Even Offstage
Though the proposal occurred backstage, news traveled quickly. Within minutes, social media lit up with the announcement, as Kelly posted a video of the proposal on Instagram with the caption:
“Oh, and this happened yesterday ❤️💍”.
The post immediately went viral, with thousands of fans and celebrities offering their congratulations. Images showed Kelly wearing a stunning engagement ring—a custom gold band with a radiant-cut diamond flanked by yellow citrine stones, a nod to her son’s favorite color.
This wasn’t just a proposal; it was a love story culminating on one of the biggest nights in heavy metal history.
A Night of Finales and New Beginnings
The concert itself was already destined for the history books. Ozzy Osbourne, battling Parkinson’s disease in recent years, gave what he called his “final public performance” alongside original Black Sabbath members Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward. The concert, titled “Back to the Beginning”, marked a homecoming for the band that revolutionized rock music from Birmingham five decades ago.
The lineup for the event was nothing short of legendary, with appearances from Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, Slipknot, Pantera, and other major acts, many of whom paid tribute to Ozzy and Black Sabbath’s influence. But it was the heartfelt moment between Kelly and Sid that stole headlines the next morning.
The concert also raised significant funds for charity, including Parkinson’s research, children’s hospitals, and local Birmingham charities—a testament to the Osbourne family’s commitment to giving back.
A Relationship Years in the Making
Kelly and Sid first met in 1999, when Slipknot performed on the Ozzfest tour. What started as a friendship evolved into romance years later, with the couple officially confirming their relationship in early 2022. Later that year, they welcomed their first child, a son named Sidney, who has quickly become the center of their world.
Kelly has often spoken about her bond with Sid and how their shared experiences in the public eye have only strengthened their relationship. In a 2024 interview, she remarked,
> “We’ve both seen the highs and lows of fame. But with Sid, I’ve found peace, safety, and a love I never knew existed.”
Family Ties and Public Reactions
Sharon Osbourne, Kelly’s mother and longtime manager of Ozzy’s career, was reportedly in tears during the proposal and was later seen embracing her daughter backstage. Jack Osbourne, Kelly’s brother, shared a heartfelt post:
“Couldn’t be happier for my sis. What a night, what a family, what a future.”
Public figures from across the music world also chimed in. Slipknot’s Corey Taylor wrote, “Never thought I’d see a proposal at a Sabbath gig—congrats to two amazing people.”
Looking Ahead
The couple has not yet announced a wedding date, but sources close to the Osbournes suggest a private ceremony may be planned for late 2025 or early 2026. Given the family’s flair for showmanship, it’s expected to be nothing short of spectacular.
As Ozzy steps away from the stage, and the curtain falls on one of rock’s most iconic bands, Kelly and Sid’s engagement feels like a torch being passed—a new generation carrying forward the spirit, resilience, and rhythm of the Osbourne legacy.
Congratulations once again to Kelly Osbourne and Sid Wilson—proof that even in the heaviest of metal hearts, there’s always room for love. 🖤💍
