Kelly Osbourne, the daughter of rock icon Ozzy Osbourne, has announced her engagement to Sid Wilson, known for his work as Slipknot’s turntablist and keyboard player. This exciting news was shared by Kelly via a heartfelt Instagram video that captured the moment Wilson proposed backstage at her father’s last concert with Black Sabbath, held at Villa Park in Birmingham, England.
During this significant event, which celebrated the end of an era for Black Sabbath, Sid Wilson expressed his love for Kelly, stating, “Kelly, you know I love you more than anything in the world.” However, he was humorously interrupted by Ozzy who exclaimed, “F— off, you’re not marrying my daughter.” Sid persisted, kneeling before Kelly, and asked, “So in front of your family and all our friends, Kelly, will you marry me?” to resounding applause from those present.
Saturday’s concert was a monumental occasion, marking Ozzy Osbourne’s final live performance with Black Sabbath, a band he has been part of since their inception in 1968. The event was highly anticipated, featuring a series of performances honoring the band’s legacy, with notable acts like Metallica and Guns N’ Roses paying tribute to their influence on rock music.
Kelly’s romantic journey with Sid began back in 1999, when they first met during Ozzfest, although they didn’t start dating until recently. Their relationship was made public on Valentine’s Day 2022, where Kelly referred to Sid as her “best friend” and “soulmate.” Just months later, the couple welcomed their son, Sidney.
This engagement celebration not only marks a personal milestone for Kelly and Sid but also encapsulates a moment of farewell for the Osbourne family and Black Sabbath. The concert paid homage to decades of music that has deeply resonated with fans, creating a bittersweet but meaningful atmosphere as the Osbournes prepare for new beginnings.
This love story intertwined with rock history is a reminder of the enduring nature of relationships, even amidst significant life transitions. It’s a hopeful moment for both families, as they look toward the future with joy and anticipation.
