Everyone thought the show was over. The lights dimmed, the crowd cheered—then Ozzy stepped up again. “Wait,” he said. “One more thing.” He called Kelly Osbourne and her partner to the stage. No one knew what was coming. Then, in front of thousands, Ozzy dropped to one knee. Not for a song—for something real. With tears in his eyes, he looked up and asked the big question. Kelly froze, then burst into tears. So did Ozzy. The crowd went quiet… then wild. It wasn’t just a proposal—it was a father’s blessing, shared with the world. Pure, raw, unforgettable.

At the final Black Sabbath concert—fittingly titled “Back to the Beginning”—held on July 5, 2025, at Villa Park in Birmingham, something extraordinary happened offstage. While over 40,000 fans gathered to say goodbye to Ozzy Osbourne and one of rock’s most legendary bands, a deeply personal moment unfolded behind the curtain: Kelly Osbourne got engaged to longtime partner Sid Wilson, DJ from the band Slipknot.

A Night of Endings… and New Beginnings

The night was already emotionally charged. Ozzy, battling Parkinson’s disease and seated on a gothic “bat throne,” gave a powerful farewell performance that left fans in tears. Songs like “Mama, I’m Coming Home” and “Paranoid” echoed through the venue in what would be his final live appearance with the band that started it all.

But while one era was closing on stage, another was just beginning backstage.

The Proposal: Intimate, Unscripted, and On Video

Shortly after Ozzy stepped off stage, Sid Wilson surprised Kelly Osbourne with a proposal in front of close family and friends. The moment was captured on video, and Kelly later shared it with fans online, writing:

“Oh—and this happened yesterday!”

According to people close to the family, Ozzy jokingly yelled“F–k off, you’re not marrying my daughter!”—before embracing both of them and giving his blessing. Sharon Osbourne was reportedly in tears, while Jack Osbourne filmed the emotional exchange for their family archive.

The couple, who have known each other since 1999 and began dating in 2022, share a son born in late 2022. Their relationship has been largely private, but this joyful moment was too beautiful not to share.

Fans React to the News

The engagement announcement quickly went viral, especially among fans of both The Osbournes and Slipknot. Social media comments ranged from emotional to ecstatic:

  • “This is the sweetest way to end the Osbourne legacy show!”

  • “Slipknot meets Black Sabbath family? We love to see it.”

  • “Ozzy’s reaction is priceless!”

It wasn’t just a celebrity moment—it was a generational bridge between heavy metal icons and the next chapter of the Osbourne legacy.

A Family Moment at the End of an Era

Kelly’s engagement added a layer of joy to what was otherwise a bittersweet evening. While Ozzy was saying farewell to the stage, his daughter was stepping into a new phase of life—surrounded by family, love, and a legacy rooted deeply in music.

For fans who followed the Osbournes since the early 2000s MTV reality show, it felt like coming full circle. It was the perfect blend of personal and publichistoric and intimate.
