Kelly Osbourne made a cheeky nod to her late father, Ozzy Osbourne, by showing her son biting the head off a “bat” in a new Halloween-related video.
Osbourne posted the video of her nearly-3-year-old son, Sidney (whose father is Slipknot’s Sid Wilson), on her TikTok. The clip shows Sidney gripping the head of a stuffed bat between his teeth and yanking it cleanly off the body, flashing a huge grin as Osbourne’s “Crazy Train” plays.
The Prince of Darkness’ daughter captioned the post, “Learned from the greatest, Papa!”
Viewers flocked to the comments to praise the video’s wholesomeness and note the similarities between Sidney and Ozzy.
“That smile he’s a definitely a little Ozzy,” one user wrote.
“Before I even saw who posted this I thought, ‘He even looks like Ozzy,’” another person said.
When Did Ozzy Osbourne Bite the Head off a Bat?
Osbourne’s infamous bat-biting incident took place on Jan. 20, 1982, during his concert at the Veterans Memorial Auditorium in Des Moines, Iowa. Seventeen-year-old concertgoer Mark Neal threw a dead bat onto the stage, and the singer promptly sunk his teeth into the animal and ripped its head off, shocking and delighting the thousands of fans in attendance.To his credit, Osbourne thought he was biting into a rubber bat, though he quickly learned the error of his ways.
