Kelly Osbourne Says Yes Behind the Curtain of Dad Ozzy’s Last Gig
There are moments when a concert becomes more than just a show - it turns into a memory that sticks with everyone who’s there. That’s exactly what happened at what was billed as Ozzy Osbourne’s final performance.
But it wasn’t just Ozzy’s farewell to the stage that had everyone talking. Backstage, his daughter Kelly Osbourne experienced one of the biggest moments of her life when her boyfriend, Sid Wilson, asked her to marry him.
Kelly, 39, shared the video of the proposal on her Instagram, and it’s easy to see why she wanted to let everyone in on the moment. The video starts with Sid, known for being part of the band Slipknot, trying to set the mood. He begins by saying,
“Kelly, you know I love you more than anything in the world.” But before he could get another word out, Ozzy himself jumped in with a classic dad move, yelling, “F--- off, you’re not marrying my daughter.”
It was the kind of perfectly timed interruption that only Ozzy could pull off, and everyone burst out laughing. Sid didn’t miss a beat, though, and kept going with his heartfelt speech. He looked right at Kelly and continued,
“Nothing would make me happier than to spend the rest of my life with you. So, in front of your family and all of our friends, Kelly, will you marry me?”
Backstage at Ozzy’s final show, Kelly beamed and hugged Sid as the Osbourne family cheered.
It was one of those moments that felt both intimate and larger-than-life, happening backstage while the sounds of Ozzy’s final show drifted through the air. Kelly’s reaction was a mix of surprise and joy.
At first, she looked like she was trying to process what was happening, but then she broke into a huge smile, nodded her head, and hugged Sid tightly. Around them, the Osbourne family was clearly over the moon.
Sharon, Kelly’s mom, was clapping and smiling, and her brother Jack was right there too. Even Ozzy, who’d just made his hilarious protest, looked thrilled as he joined in the family celebration.
InstagramThis proposal wasn’t just a sweet moment; it was the culmination of a story that began decades earlier. According to People Magazine, Kelly and Sid first crossed paths way back in 1999.
That’s when Sid’s band Slipknot was performing at Ozzfest, the heavy metal festival Kelly’s parents had launched. They became friends back then, but it wasn’t until 2022 that their relationship took a romantic turn.
That same year, they welcomed their first child together, a baby boy they named Sidney. Kelly opened up about their journey together in a social media post marking their first Valentine’s Day as a couple.
Her words showed how much their connection had grown over time, and how their foundation of friendship had turned into something more.
"Oh and this happened yesterday!'
Kelly said on her family’s podcast that becoming a mom is the best thing ever and she loves the family she and Sid have started.
And Kelly has embraced motherhood with open arms. Speaking on her family’s podcast,
“The Osbournes,” in 2023, she talked about what becoming a mom has meant to her. “The best thing that ever happened to me. The best, he’s lovely. I just love being a mom. It is everything to me,” she said, beaming with pride.Those words said it all, she’s happier than ever with the family she and Sid have started.
InstagramFor fans of the Osbourne family and Slipknot alike, watching Kelly and Sid’s relationship grow has been a highlight. They’ve known each other since they were young, raised amid the chaos of the music scene, and found each other at just the right moment.
Their engagement happening on the night of Ozzy’s final show made it even more meaningful. It felt like Kelly was starting a new chapter just as her father’s legendary career was closing.
The proposal video shows that even in the rock and roll world, family moments can be heartfelt and genuine. Kelly and Sid’s story proves that love often takes its time, and when it arrives, it can surprise you, even if your dad tries to steal the spotlight with a well-timed joke. In the end, everyone was happy, and that’s what counts.
