In an emotional and unexpected moment at the “Back To The Beginning” concert, Sid Wilson of Slipknot got down on one knee and proposed to Kelly Osbourne, daughter of heavy metal legend Ozzy Osbourne. The surprise proposal took place during what was billed as Ozzy’s “last-ever” performance, making it an unforgettable night for both the Osbourne family and fans alike.
Sid and Kelly, who have been in a relationship for three years and share a two-year-old son, made their engagement official in front of a crowd filled with music legends, family, and fans. The timing of the proposal made the moment even more touching, as it came during Ozzy’s final concert with the original lineup of Black Sabbath, in his hometown — marking the end of an era for the Prince of Darkness and the beginning of a new chapter for his daughter.
A video capturing the moment shows a stunned Ozzy Osbourne reacting to the proposal. The 75-year-old rock icon was heard joking, “You’re not marrying my daughter,” before dramatically dropping his jaw in playful disbelief as he got a glimpse of the stunning engagement ring.
Following the proposal, Kelly took to Instagram to express her deep emotions and love for Sid. Sharing a photograph of the two kissing tenderly after the engagement, she wrote:
“After 23 years of friendship I can’t believe where we have ended up. You are my best friend, my soulmate, and I am so deeply in love with you Sidney George Wilson.”
The proposal wasn’t just heartfelt — it was also steeped in symbolism and personal meaning, particularly through the custom-designed ring Sid used to pop the question. According to Maxwell Stone, a UK diamond expert from Steven Stone, the ring was a meticulously crafted piece of jewelry made from 18k yellow gold and designed by renowned jeweler Mouawad. The ring was created to reflect Sid’s affectionate nickname for Kelly — “Honeybee.”
“Sid proposed with a custom-designed 18k yellow gold ring from Mouawad, thoughtfully crafted to reflect his affectionate nickname for Kelly: ‘Honeybee,’” said Stone.
He went on to describe the ring’s exquisite design, noting that it features a blend of white and yellow diamonds, accented with radiant citrine, a gemstone known for its symbolism of joy, abundance, and the warmth of the sun — elements that align beautifully with the love the couple shares.
Further commenting on the uniqueness of the ring, Ella Citron-Thompkins of Diamonds Factory said that the ring’s design was not only elegant but also deeply personal and meaningful.
“This personal, playful tribute, woven into the intricate details of the ring, makes it all the more meaningful — especially as the proposal took place during such a significant moment for her family,” she said. “The final Black Sabbath concert in Ozzy’s hometown makes the occasion even more profound.”
The proposal added an extra layer of emotion to what was already a historic night for the Osbourne family. Ozzy Osbourne’s “Back To The Beginning” concert featured the original Black Sabbath lineup, performing together for the first time in decades. It served as a final farewell to fans and closed the chapter on a monumental career that helped shape the very foundation of heavy metal music.
While fans came to see the iconic band take their final bow, they were treated to an intimate moment of love, legacy, and family on stage — a powerful juxtaposition of endings and beginnings.
With Kelly and Sid’s relationship evolving from a decades-long friendship into a committed partnership, their engagement during such a pivotal night adds poetic weight to their journey. As Ozzy steps back from the spotlight, the next generation of the Osbourne family is stepping forward — with love, creativity, and a future of their own making.
The moment was met with cheers from the crowd and warm wishes from fellow musicians, fans, and celebrities, who flooded social media to celebrate the happy couple.
One thing is clear: the Osbournes continue to surprise, inspire, and make headlines — and this time, it’s all about love in the limelight.
