Ozzy Osbourne was taken totally by surprise when daughter Kelly got engaged
On Saturday night, the Crazy Train rocker performed for the final time to over 40,000 fans in Birmingham's Villa Park, accompanied by his Black Sabbath bandmates Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward.
The rowdy crowd screamed, danced, and showered Ozzy with adoration, giving him a legend's send-off following his years of health struggles.
But Ozzy's last performance wasn't the only reason for emotions running high over the weekend, as Kelly's boyfriend, Sid Wilson, decided to get down on one knee.
The Slipknot rocker, 48, who confirmed his romance with Kelly in 2022, popped the question in the presence of Sharon and Ozzy, with Mrs. O now spilling further details on the special moment.
Speaking to TMZ, the former X Factor judge shared that Sid, who has actually known Kelly since the late 90s, asked for her permission to propose three to four months ago.

He told Sharon that he was going ahead with the grand gesture at Ozzy's final gig—but kept the music legend in the dark until the last moment.
Sharon added that she and Ozzy are 'over the moon' for their daughter, with a huge romantic celebration planned for them in a couple of weeks, ensuring Ozzy has time to recuperate after his gig first.
The famous family decided against a raucous night on the town after the concert itself, given that the singer, who revealed his Parkinson's diagnosis in 2020, had already had a long day.
Sharon is also keen for Kelly to expand their family further once she's a married woman, declaring that she wants 'a lot more babies' from her and Sid, who welcomed son Sidney in late 2022.
And it's probably not something she even needs to ask for, as Kelly herself has already made it clear that she 'definitely' wants to have 'more babies' with her husband-to-be.
In the video of Sid's proposal that Kelly shared on Instagram, the shock was clear on her face when he pulled out the ring.
'Kelly, you know I love you more than anything,' he began in his speech.
'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?', he asked her.
As Sid gave his future father-in-law a closer look at the dazzling ring, Sharon applauded.
It later emerged that the engagement ring had a deeper story behind it, with luxury jeweller Mouawad telling Metro that Sid wanted the accessory to have a connection to Kelly's late friend, Joan Rivers.
'So I have a nickname for Kelly, and it's 'Honeybee', and coincidentally, a friend of hers, Joan Rivers, used to call her this,' he revealed.
'It was a nickname [Rivers] had for her. I didn't know this. It's like an amazing coincidence; it's like whoa, like, meant to be.'
After Rivers died in 2014, Kelly got a bee tattoo in her honour to 'always buzz around' her.
And now, her 18K yellow gold ring also has a beehive-inspired structure, featuring a variation of diamonds.
Upon first seeing the ring in all its glory, Sid said it was 'more than perfect'.
Kelly previously admitted that she wasn't super fussed about getting married, insisting it 'wasn't important' to her.
'I found my guy. We don't need the certificate,' she told Us Weekly last year.
However, since Sid has always been keen on becoming husband and wife, she's more than happy to exchange vows.
And she'll be doing so in the presence of her mum and dad, who recently moved back to the UK after several years in the States.
Speaking on Instagram at the weekend to express her pride for her father after his show, Kelly hailed Black Sabbath's Back to the Beginning concert as one of the 'most magical experiences' of her life.
She said in a video shared to her Instagram Story: 'I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you. More Trending
'Thank you to everyone who came to the show last night, [and] thank you to everybody who was involved in the show last night. You have no idea what it did for my dad.

'It was one of the most magical experiences of my entire life, and if I keep talking, I'm probably going to end up crying again. So, that's all I'll say for now. Thank you.'
While on stage, Ozzy, who performed sitting on a throne due to his mobility issues, said similar.
He told the crowd: 'I don't know what to say, man. I've been laid up for, like, six years. You have no idea how I feel—thank you from the bottom of my heart.'

Arrests made after thousands of Oasis fans descend on Heaton Park gig
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Local police have issued a statement after ticketless Oasis fans desperately tried to break into Heaton Park. Tickets to see Liam and Noel Gallagher reunite have been like gold dust, whispered between music fans ever since they went on sale in August last year. Many will remember battling it out in queues all day long, only to be met with dynamically priced seats and sold-out messages. While millions were left disappointed, a determined few took matters into their own hands and decided to risk scaling the fences around the Manchester gig. As Liam, 52, and Noel, 58, performed to the 80,000 concert-goers in their hometown for the first time in 16 years, the security staff had their hands full with overly enthusiastic fans. Six were arrested on the first night, while a further nine were booked on night two after the Greater Manchester Police put a 'section 47' dispersal order in place. Drunk and disorderly behaviour prompted some arrests as GMP said three were suspected of assault, one of which was a serious 'section 18' assault inside the venue. Another suspect was arrested after a member of the security team was attacked, according to Manchester Evening News. However, others were held on suspicion of fraud after scores of fans attempted to bluff their way into the venues. Assistant Chief Constable Matt Boyle said: 'We have been planning for these events for several months, working with partners and the organisers to make sure everyone can enjoy the concerts safely. 'To that end, I'm pleased to say that the first two Oasis homecoming events have been a success.' 'What has been especially pleasing is how more than 100,000 people have enjoyed these iconic events safely and without trouble. We will have a highly visible presence in and around Heaton Park, and across the city, to ensure the next three events continue to pass safely.' Section 47 allows police to remove anyone loitering in the area, in a bid to keep the crowd outside of the park to a minimum. 'A number of people without tickets attempted to gain entry through a perimeter gate on Saturday night but failed to do so,' shared Boyle. 'We continue to support the event organisers and the local authority with their plans preventing any unauthorised access to the arena site. 'While arrests have thankfully been minimal, we have had to take some suspects into custody, including one after an alleged assault on a steward on Saturday night. We will not tolerate any abuse of anyone doing their job. 'On Friday night, we also dealt with a number of breaches of airspace restrictions involving drones, where our officers seized five drones and spoke to two other pilots. More Trending 'We continue to have airspace restrictions in place on the nights of the concerts and anyone found breaching the one-and-a-half-mile restriction zone could face prosecution.' Other fans decided to watch the show from a nearby hill, given that the concert was plenty loud enough for the surrounding area to hear. Dubbed 'Gallagher Hill', the fans didn't feel half the world away as they sang along and watched with a birdseye view of the gig. Oasis will perform five more shows in Manchester before continuing on to London and then the rest of the world. Got a story?

ITV This Morning star shares update after being rushed to hospital following 'nightmare'
ITV This Morning star shares update after being rushed to hospital following 'nightmare' The presenter has taken to social media to share the 'nightmare'endured while competing in the famous Yukon 1000 boat race A star from This Morning has been left feeling 'gutted' after a 'nightmare' event led to an emergency hospital dash. The ITV morning programme has seen quite the activity among its team, with psychologist Emma Kenny celebrating the arrival of her fourth child at 52. In addition, the show's regular hosts from Monday to Thursday, Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley, are gearing up for their yearly summer hiatus. While Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary will continue to helm the Friday shows, a variety of well-loved personalities are set to fill in for Ben and Cat. Viewers can expect to see Olivia Atwood, Emma Willis, Rylan Clark, Josie Gibson, Rochelle Humes, Joel Dommett, Craig Doyle, Sian Welby, and Andi Peters taking turns at the helm, reports the Manchester Evening News. The former X Factor singer told his fans that 'sometimes you fail' (Image: Instagram: @jakequickenden ) Article continues below Jake Quickenden, who first found fame on The X Factor, has become a familiar face on This Morning, often presenting segments with the public around Britain. He has embraced this role, making it distinctly his own through his engaging interactions. However, on Saturday (July 12), Jake, also known for his stint on I'm A Celebrity, took to Instagram to share that he had sustained an injury during the gruelling Yukon 1000 boat race. Jake and his fitness trainer companion Matty Green had to pull out of the arduous competition when Jake injured his wrist. Sharing his disappointment and determination, Jake posted: "It was fun while it lasted, I can say was the most amazing, scary and utterly bonkers 36 hours I've had in my life. Already so p***ed off ready to try again next year. "Sometimes the universe tells you something isn't right and this time I listened and we had to get out, I wanted to get home to my kids and wife, I lost my dad young and it affects me everyday I didn't want that for my lads," Jake shared. Despite initially making a strong start, Jake recounted how their challenge took a turn when they were hit by a wave and capsized. "I couldn't get my spray deck off and was under water what seemed like 3 minutes when I came up I was pretty panicked and we had to swim the boat back to the side luckily we wasn't in the middle or it could have been bad, got the water out, the boat got dry and managed to set off again after losing about an hour, just when we got moving the pedal of the boat snapped and we couldn't turn left." Jake then began to question whether they were meant to continue. "This is when I was like is this meant to be, I believe in all that stuff and felt like we were being told to get out, we didn't listen we fixed the boat but by this time the storm had hit and we needed to camp to shelter from the wind and rain and the lake which if we hadn't have gone in we would have been off was now too dangerous to paddle on and I'm so glad we don't risk trying. "We camped bear spray in hand and woke up around 3.30am after now losing 8 hours of time. We packed up got in the boat and wanted to push on we finished the 17k of the lake and we was on the river and ready to push on and try and make the cut off time, as we was celebrating making the river, we hit a boiling eddy that pulled us under and spat us out like nothing," he recounted. Jake Quickenden with fitness trainer Matty Green (Image: Instagram: @jakequickenden ) Jake went on: "We came up and was about to go down the river for I don't know how long ( which could have been bad) when out of nowhere again like it was meant to happen. Kyle and Mel, two American travellers who just happened to have finished fishing, jumped in the canoe and pulled us to the side. "They were honestly angels and I personally think they stopped something really bad from happening. We got dry and realised I had a pretty beat up wrist and a broken boat and after 4 bits of bad luck we should call it. Article continues below "So we called it and for me and matty that's a hard thing to do, we knew we probs wouldn't make the cut off time in Dawson, not with the boat and my wrist, and like I said something felt off like it's was trying to get us off that river everytime something went good something terrible brought us back down to earth." Acknowledging that 'sometimes you fail that's life', Jake expressed gratitude to his supporters for their 'love and support', revealing he had 'learnt more over 48 hours than ever before'.

The inside story of Wedding Crashers as it celebrates 20 years
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Rife for comedy, romance, hijinks and plot twists, weddings have long been the ultimate playground for movie makers — and not many have exploited it better than the 2005 box office hit Wedding Crashers. The story follows buddies, Jeremy and John — played by Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson — who spend their weekends attending the most special day of people's lives… uninvited. Their playful hobby takes a serious turn when John falls for the bridesmaid Claire, played by Rachel McAdams, and agrees to a weekend retreat with her entire family. While there, Jeremy has to contend with the, at first, unwanted advances of Claire's sister Gloria (Isla Fisher), and Owen must compete against Rachel's boyfriend, Sack (Bradley Cooper). Released 20 years ago this month, Wedding Crashers received generally favourable reviews from critics and became an immediate box office hit, earning more than $200 million. It also became one of the most commercially successful R-rated comedies of all time, and laid the path for further bromance films such as Superbad, I Love You, Man, and 21 Jump Street. In honour of the film's 20th anniversary, the director David Dobkin speaks Metro and lifts the lid on what it was really like making the comedy classic… 'It's about that time in your life when love becomes your primary interest over sex, and what happens to two close guy friends when one of them falls in love. John is afraid to tell Jeremy that he loves a girl because of their important bond. Part of growing up is going through this experience and coming back together.' 'An older filmmaker told me the first movie you make shows you can do it, the second demonstrates that you're part of the system, and by the third one, you do one that speaks to you. I was a nerdy kid who didn't have any game, so when my friends started to fall for girls all of a sudden, it threatened the group's stability. When I saw that it was possible to tell that story in the movie, I chased it, because it was personal. I wanted to show how I felt about my guy friends, which is that we're ride or dies.' 'Vince came as my guest to the premiere of my movie Shanghai Knights, and he was talking 100 miles an hour at me. I saw in the background, Owen was eating a carrot and laughing with his slow Texas drawl. I grabbed my agent and told them that I needed the two of them in my next movie. He called me eight weeks later to say he'd found the script. 'When Isla, who was relatively unknown, came in for her audition, I was having a very hard time finding the person for Gloria. I was impressed by how she could make these instant, but realistic, 180-degree turns from a crazy 'you're never gonna leave' to an emotional 'I love you'. Bradley was also new to the industry, but he is the only actor I've ever hired in an audition. I'd seen 50 other people read it, and they all were moustache-twirly bad guys, but he had the talent to make it something more.' 'We stayed at a place called Perry Cabin in Maryland, which was where we shot the wedding in the first act. It was funny to go from your bedroom to being on set. 'We also filmed in Washington, which is where I grew up. I tailored the movie to become a little love letter to DC. It was incredible to me that Vince and Owen sat on the Lincoln Memorial steps saying, 'One day we'll look back on all this and laugh. We'll say we were young and stupid', because I sat there with my friends.' 'I recently watched Wedding Crashers again for the first time since its release, as my son was upset he hadn't seen it, and that movie holds up perfectly. R-rated comedies age better than any other comedy because they're finding humour in things that we normally find uncomfortable, and those things remain consistent, such as embarrassing sex moments. 'At the time, executives were scared of R-rated movies as they didn't know how to market them. I fought for it so we could push the boundaries more.' 'The cast had to sit at the dinner table for days to get that scene. It was difficult as there were so many people at the table, many reactions to capture, and we had to make it believable that Jeremy receives a hand job unnoticed. 'The opening montage of the boys crashing multiple weddings was the first thing we shot on the movie, because I knew that when executives realised I was doing it for four days, they would say, 'What are you doing?' 'I was inspired by James Bond, as in that franchise, the ticket cost has already been earned in the first five minutes. I thought, 'Why can't comedies start like that?' This way, for the rest of the movie, you're afforded so much leniency because everyone's having fun already.' 'Women are underwritten in almost every role. If they're not the lead, they are often reduced to terrible clichés. I wanted to make Jane, Isla and Rachel cool, funny and three-dimensional. Let's see women get a leg up on these good-looking dudes and use their sexuality in a way that makes them uncomfortable. Women initiate the sex scenes every single time. If a man initiates a sex scene, it can't be funny because we're not sure if there's consent.' 'We ad-libbed in a rehearsal room, and I took some notes, but there was hardly any improvisation on set. One of the few exceptions is when Vince is talking to the priest. That monologue got written and rewritten, but, man, he just riffed. Vince just had a couple of touchstones of what the scene was about; he loved Gloria, but didn't expect it. That was a difficult scene in the editing room because he gave something almost completely different every time.' 'The marketing team worried that the main characters were predatory, that it would come across that they were lying purely to sleep with women, but I didn't see it that way. They attend weddings because they love them. They love the fun of changing their names, dancing, the food, the music, and hanging out with the old people. When they're at a wedding, it's the best wedding ever, and the byproduct of that is that these girls are attracted to them, so they sleep with them. It's the way real seduction works.' 'About 15 years after the original, I came up with a funny and worthwhile idea based on what would happen if they both became single again as older men. More Trending 'We were very close to making that sequel, but we all couldn't quite see eye to eye, as there were feelings from the actors' representatives that we could not make a movie like Wedding Crashers after the Me Too movement. That made me upset, because I'm a feminist and he movie was never offensive. It has a big heart because it understands the rules. We'll see if we can finally get back to it someday. I always hold out hope.' Wedding Crashers is available to watch on Netflix and Amazon Prime Video Do you have a story you'd like to share?
