It was a night to remember for the Osbourne family. While Ozzy Osbourne delivered his final performance with Black Sabbath in front of 40,000 fans in Birmingham, something even more personal was happening behind the scenes.
Backstage at Villa Park, Kelly Osbourne experienced a life-changing moment—Sid Wilson, her longtime boyfriend and a member of Slipknot, proposed in front of her parents and loved ones.
As the crowd cheered outside, the atmosphere backstage grew quiet. “We’ve got to be quiet, hold on,” whispered Sharon Osbourne, Kelly’s mother, while friends and family gathered around.
Sid, 48, took Kelly’s hand and looked into her eyes. “Kelly, you know I love you more than anything in the world,” he said. Then, as he prepared to kneel, Ozzy playfully interrupted, joking, “F–k off, you’re not marrying my daughter.”
The room burst into laughter, but Sid continued with heartfelt words:
“Nothing would make me happier than spending the rest of my life with you. So, in front of your family and all our friends… Kelly, will you marry me?”
Kelly’s face said it all. Shocked and emotional, she nodded yes, embraced Sid tightly, and the entire room exploded with applause and joyful shouts.
