Kelly Osbourne Gets Engaged Backstage at Ozzy Osbourne’s Final Black Sabbath Show
A rock ‘n’ roll love story unfolds at the most Osbourne moment ever — right as Ozzy takes his final bow.
July 6 EST: You couldn’t script this better. Kelly Osbourne just got engaged to Slipknot’s Sid Wilson backstage at Ozzy Osbourne’s last-ever Black Sabbath concert — and honestly, it might be the most on-brand Osbourne family moment since someone yelled “Sharon!” on MTV.

Yes, that’s right: Ozzy’s farewell show — a full-circle blowout at Villa Park in Birmingham — ended with his daughter accepting a proposal just off stage, surrounded by family, metal royalty, and whatever raw emotion was left in the tank after three hours of sludge riffs and legacy nostalgia.
Per People, Sid Wilson popped the question in front of Sharon and Ozzy, who reportedly gave a brief dramatic protest (because of course he did), then offered his blessing like the rock ‘n’ roll patriarch he’s always been. Kelly posted the moment to Instagram not long after — crying, glowing, and fully leaning into the real-life rock ballad arc she’s living.
A Backstage Proposal, 20 Years in the Making
For fans who’ve been following their arc, this proposal wasn’t a shock — more like a sequel with perfect timing. Kelly and Sid met in the early 2000s during the Ozzfest days, long before anyone thought reality TV would eat the world. They were friends for years before officially coupling up in 2022, had their son Sidney later that year, and have been quietly thriving while the rest of us tried to survive algorithms and award shows.
This proposal, though? Pure spectacle. Sid didn’t just find a ring — he found the moment. Right after Ozzy, flanked by the original Sabbath lineup, took his final bow to a roaring Villa Park crowd, raising money for Parkinson’s UK and children’s hospitals, while sitting on a throne like a goth King Lear. That’s when Sid made his move.
This Wasn’t Just a Concert — It Was the Season Finale
Let’s be real: Saturday night wasn’t just another gig. It was legacy porn for metalheads. The show, titled “Back to the Beginning,” reunited Ozzy, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward for one last blackout. Metallica, Slayer, and Pantera opened. Ozzy, battling Parkinson’s and still recovering from major spine surgery, powered through the set like someone who knew he had nothing left to prove.
The throne, the tears, the crowd screaming every word — it all played like the third-act climax of a rock opera, with Kelly’s proposal providing the unexpected emotional epilogue.
What Now? Probably a Wedding That Smells Like Leather and Lilies
No date’s been announced yet, but come on — the possibilities are endless. Will the wedding be Victorian goth? Soft metalcore glam? Will Ozzy officiate in eyeliner and a cloak? One can only hope.
What’s clear is this: fans didn’t just witness the end of an era on Saturday night. They saw a new one begin — one that trades mosh pits for milestone moments but still knows how to land a power chord when it counts.
Kelly and Sid didn’t just get engaged. They dropped a surprise encore.
