In a heartfelt gesture that has melted hearts worldwide, Kelly Osbourne and Slipknot’s Sid Wilson recently unveiled a sweet and meaningful photo of their son, Sidney — one that honors rock legend Ozzy Osbourne in the most delightful way.
A Little Metalhead in a Legendary Costume
Kelly and Sid treated fans to their first full shot of baby Sidney via Instagram, where he appeared snug and endearing in a bat-themed onesie. But this was no ordinary baby outfit. It paid homage to one of Ozzy’s most infamous onstage moments — the 1982 story in which he bit the head off what he believed was a real bat. The tribute was both playful and poignant, instantly resonating with fans of rock history.
Three Generations of Connection
Kelly recently opened up on Today with Hoda & Jenna about the beautiful bond between Ozzy and little Sidney. She shared,
“My dad and him have a real connection. My dad’s always been a sleep-talker — and now, he calls for Sidney even in his dreams.” The story captured imaginations everywhere, blending rock legend lore with universal family tenderness.
Sidney also holds the title of Ozzy’s 10th grandchild, joining an extended and beloved family that includes grandchildren from Ozzy’s first marriage to Thelma Riley, as well as his son Jack’s four children.
Ozzy’s Legacy — On Stage and Off
Despite health challenges keeping him off the road for years, Ozzy is set to return to the stage this October with a full festival performance at Power Trip in Indio, California. The lineup boasts heavy hitters like AC/DC, Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, Iron Maiden, and Tool, marking a triumphant comeback for the Prince of Darkness.
Meanwhile, Sid Wilson is currently touring Europe with Slipknot. The band will return to the U.S. for major festival dates throughout the summer, including Rock Fest, Inkcarceration, and Blue Ridge Rock Festival.
One sweet image, three generations of Osbournes, and a heritage of music and memories — Sidney’s little bat onesie captured something deeper than just a costume. It celebrated family, legacy, and the playful spirit of rock and roll.
