Ozzy's Farewell Inspires Deep Emotion among Fans - Farewell speech from Ozzy Osbourne filled with raw emotions
Kelly Osbourne, the daughter of the late legendary rocker Ozzy Osbourne, has shared a heartfelt message on Instagram following her engagement to longtime friend Sid Wilson. The proposal took place during the Black Sabbath reunion concert, just weeks before Ozzy's passing.
In her post, Kelly described the engagement as a significant and emotional moment, marking the end of an era for her father and a new beginning for her and Sid. She expressed her gratitude for the love, support, and shared memories that helped her get through a tough moment in her life.
Kelly also mentioned that she would not be okay for a while but holds on to the love, light, and legacy left behind by her father. She signed off her message with the hashtags #BirminghamForever and #OzzyForever, a poignant tribute to her father and the city where Black Sabbath was founded in 1968.
Sid Wilson, the DJ from Slipknot, proposed to Kelly on July 5, 2025, backstage at Ozzy's farewell Black Sabbath show in Birmingham. The engagement ring, a custom piece worth $100,000, is named "Honeybee," a nickname given to Kelly. Ozzy was present during the proposal, humorously objecting initially but later appearing emotional.
Kelly and Sid met in 1999 during Ozzfest, which was co-founded by Ozzy and his wife Sharon. Their romantic relationship started in 2021 or early 2022, and they welcomed a son named Sidney in late 2022.
Thousands of fans have visited the Black Sabbath statue in Broad Street to leave tributes for Ozzy, with the Osbourne family expressing gratitude for the heartfelt messages. Ozzy performed his final set from a large black throne during the concert, which took place at Villa Park.
Ozzy Osbourne, the Black Sabbath frontman, passed away in July at the age of 76. The engagement timing, so close to Ozzy's death, has added an extra layer of poignancy to this significant moment in Kelly's life.
