What could be more iconic than getting engaged at your dad’s legendary farewell concert? That’s exactly what happened to Kelly Osbourne, and we’re here for every emotional second of it.
During her father Ozzy Osbourne’s final-ever performance with Black Sabbath in Birmingham, Kelly’s longtime love Sid Wilson surprised her with a proposal—and yes, it happened backstage in the middle of rock ‘n’ roll history.
💞 A Proposal Straight Out of a Movie (But Way Cooler)
Picture this: Ozzy is wrapping up a decades-long legacy with 42,000 screaming fans, and behind the curtain, love is in the air.
Slipknot’s Sid Wilson, 48, turned to Kelly, 40, and declared his love in front of close friends and family.
“Kelly, you know I love you more than anything in the world,” he began, before Ozzy jokingly interrupted:
“F— off, you’re not marrying my daughter.”
Of course, Ozzy was kidding. The laughter died down, and Sid went on:
“Nothing would make me happier than to spend the rest of my life with you – so, Kelly, will you marry me?”
With everyone cheering and Ozzy grinning like a proud (if slightly teasing) dad, Kelly said yes—and just like that, a new chapter in her life began.
🌱 A Love That Took Its Sweet Time
If this feels like a fairytale, that’s because it is. But it’s not the kind that happens overnight.
Kelly and Sid actually go way back—they met during Ozzfest in 1999, when Slipknot was on the lineup and Kelly was still finding her own spotlight. Their friendship lasted over two decades before love finally sparked in early 2022.
Just months later, the couple announced the birth of their son, Sidney George Wilson, in a sweet family moment Kelly kept under wraps until her mom Sharon Osbourne spilled the beans on TV.
🎸 A Historic Night for Rock — and Romance
The engagement wasn’t just a personal milestone; it took place during Ozzy Osbourne’s final concert with Black Sabbath. Held at Villa Park stadium, the show was part of the “Back to the Beginning” event—a nostalgic night with an emotional punch.
The concert featured some of rock’s biggest names like Metallica, Steven Tyler, and Guns N’ Roses. But it also doubled as a charity event, raising funds for:
- Cure Parkinson’s
- Birmingham Children’s Hospital
- Acorn Children’s Hospice
While fans came for the music, they got a double dose of unforgettable memories—including Kelly’s engagement.
💬 Fans & Celebs React
As soon as Kelly shared the news on Instagram with the casual-but-iconic caption “Oh and this happened yesterday!” the internet went wild.
Famous friends and fans flooded her comments:
- Jonathan Cheban: “AMAZING. LOVE YOU MOCHIE!!! Congrats!!!!”
- Rylan Clark: “OMG KEL!!! Congraaatttsssss”
- And hundreds more messages filled with love and heart emojis.
💕 From Tour Bus to Family Life
For Kelly and Sid, this moment is just the beginning of a new journey. Kelly has been open about how becoming a mom changed her life, calling her son “the best thing that ever happened to me.”
The couple’s relationship, built on friendship first, has clearly blossomed into something beautiful. And now, with wedding bells on the horizon, fans are excited to see what comes next—from family life to future music projects (or maybe even a documentary? 👀).
🎤 Final Thoughts
Kelly’s engagement was more than just a romantic surprise—it was a symbolic full-circle moment. At the close of Ozzy’s legendary career, his daughter steps into a new era of her own.
Rock stars. Real love. And a backstage proposal during one of the most epic concerts in history? That’s peak Osbourne magic right there.
