Tyler performed three songs, beginning with 'Train Kept A-Rollin',' which featured Ronnie Wood of the Rolling Stones on guitar. He then led the band through Aerosmith's 'Walk This Way' before closing the set with the Led Zeppelin classic 'Whole Lotta Love.' Tyler's voice held up for three songs, but it's hard to imagine he could sustain such a howl for a full show.

Kelly Osbourne gets engaged at dad Ozzy's final show
Kelly Osbourne has confirmed her engagement to her long-term partner, rock musician Sid Wilson. TV personality Osbourne posted a video on Instagram of the moment that Wilson, who is part of heavy metal band Slipknot, got down on one knee and proposed in front of various family members and friends, including her father Ozzy and mother Sharon Osbourne. In the footage, Wilson can be heard saying: 'Kelly, you know I love you more than anything in the world.' Ozzy then interjects: 'F**k off you're not marrying my daughter.' The assembled crowd laughs before Wilson continues: '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?' The couple, who have been together since at least 2022 and share a young son, Sidney, then embraced as people clapped and cheered. Osbourne is a former 'View' panelist while Wilson is best known for being Slipknot's turntablist. The pair confirmed they were dating in February 2022, when Osbourne posted a photo of the two of them to Instagram on Valentine's Day, calling him her best friend and 'soulmate,' saying she couldn't believe this was where the couple had ended up after '23 years of friendship.' The proposal took place backstage at what was billed to be Ozzy Osbourne's last ever live show. Osbourne, along with original Black Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler, drummer Bill Ward and guitarist Tony Iommi, appeared on stage together for the first time in two decades in Birmingham, England on Saturday during a concert event called 'Back to the Beginning,' which was said to be Osbourne's 'farewell performance,' according to Black Sabbath's official website. Osbourne – who performed while sitting in a black, throne-like chair with a bat on top – revealed in 2020 that he has Parkinson's disease.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kelly Osbourne (@kellyosbourne) Kelly and Wilson first met and struck up a friendship in 1999, when Wilson's band was touring with Ozzfest, the music festival founded by her parents. They officially began dating in January 2022. A source told PEOPLE at the time that they were "very happy together." Kelly later reflected on their long history in an Instagram post celebrating their first Valentine's Day as a couple. "After 23 years of friendship I can't believe where we have ended up!" she wrote at the time, sharing a photo of the pair kissing. "You are my best friend, my soulmate and I am so deeply in love with you Sidney George Wilson." Wilson also shared the love, reposting the photo on his own Instagram page with the message, "There is not enough colours to display the palette of Love I have for you in my Heart 💜 Happy Valentines Day my Love XoXo." In May of that same year, the duo shared the big news that they had a baby on the way. Kelly made her pregnancy reveal by posting a photo of herself holding an ultrasound image. "I know that I have been very quiet these past few months so I thought I would share with you all as to why… I am over the moon to announce that I am going to be a Mumma," she wrote on Instagram at the time. "To say that I am happy does not quite cut it. I am ecstatic! 🤰💜." Their son made his arrival at the end of 2022, and while Kelly had hoped to keep his birth a secret for a while, Sharon — a very excited grandmother — spilled the beans during a January 2023 appearance on The Talk. "[His name is] Sidney. [They're] doing so great. She won't let a picture go out of him," she said at the time. Later that same day, Kelly posted a message on her Instagram Stories, reiterating her desire for privacy. "I am not ready to share him with the world," she wrote. During a September 2023 episode of The Osbournes podcast, Kelly opened up about having "fully embraced mom life" and how much she and Wilson adore Sidney. "He's the best thing that ever happened to me. The best, he's lovely," she said of their son. "I just love being a mom, It is everything to me." Read the original article on People
