Ozzy Osbourne’s 3 Year Old Grandson Sidney Steals Hearts at Ozzy’s Favourite Soccer Team Aston Villa – Kelly Osbourne and Rarely Seen Brother Louis Watch On in an Emotional Homecoming
Ozzy Osbourne’s grandson took centre stage at Villa Park yesterday – five months after the rock legend’s final show in the same stadium.
His daughter Kelly Osbourne watched on as her three-year-old son Sidney was one of the mascots for Aston Villa’s league game against Manchester United, which they won 2-1.
Sidney was carried out by Villa captain John McGinn prior to kick-off, before being passed to Kelly and watching the game from the sidelines.
Kelly, 41, donned a full Villa shirt and was joined by her rarely seen brother Louis, 50, whose mother is Ozzy’s first wife Thelma Riley, with whom he had two other children.
She was also supported by her American rock star fiance Sid Wilson – Sidney’s father and keyboardist for the heavy metal band Slipknot.
Kelly said before the game that her son representing Villa was a ‘proud moment’.
Dad Ozzy was a lifelong fan of Villa, having grown up in the area near the stadium.
After Ozzy’s death on July 22, Villa said he ‘embodies Villa’s Aston origins, bridging the worlds of rock metal and football’.
The TV star, dressed in the team’s kit, beamed with pride as her three-year-old son Sidney took to the pitch as a mascot

Louis was clearly devastated by his father’s passing, as he changed his Facebook profile picture to an all-black screen.
Ozzy had three children from his first marriage, and three from his marriage to Sharon, Kelly, Jack and Aimee, whom he remained married to until his death.
Before tying the knot to Sharon, he married his first wife Thelma Riley in 1971 after meeting her in a Birmingham nightclub.
Together, they welcomed children Jessica and Louis, although details surrounding their birthdays are unclear.
Ozzy also adopted Thelma’s five-year-old son Elliot from a previous relationship.
Louis now works as a DJ and married actress Louise Lennon in 2004.
The pair tied the knot in 2004, with Ozzy unable to attend after suffering major injuries after being injured in a quad bike accident.
In the 2011 documentary film God Bless Ozzy Osbourne, produced by his son Jack, he revealed that he could not even remember when Louis and Jessica were born.

Louis also opened up about growing up with a drunk father.
‘When he was around and he wasn’t [drunk], he was a great father,’ he said in the documentary.
‘But that was kind of seldom, really. I just have a lot of memories of him being drunk, random s**t like driving cars across fields and crashing them in the middle of the night and stuff like that.
‘It’s not good for family life, really.’
His older sister, Jessica added: ‘I don’t remember being put to bed or having a bath by dad or anything like that.
‘I wouldn’t say he was there for us, no, never on sports day, school trip, parents’ evening. He wasn’t like that, no.’
