Ozzy Osbourne’s family ties to Birmingham football will be on proud display this festive season, as his three-year-old grandson Sidney prepares for a memorable moment at **Aston Villa**’s iconic home ground.
Kelly Osbourne has revealed that her son Sidney will serve as **Aston Villa’s official mascot** when they face **Manchester United** at **Villa Park** on **Sunday, December 21** — a fitting occasion given the Osbourne family’s deep roots in the city.
The match takes place just five months after Villa Park hosted Ozzy Osbourne and **Black Sabbath**’s emotional hometown farewell show, *Back to the Beginning*, a landmark concert that celebrated Birmingham’s heavy-metal legacy and Ozzy’s extraordinary career.
Kelly, who is Ozzy’s daughter and Sidney’s mum, shared the mascot news while chatting about her brother Jack Osbourne’s *I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!* campmate **Angry Ginge**, a well-known Manchester United supporter. Speaking playfully, Kelly said she planned to message him about the match, jokingly suggesting he might want to attend despite the divided loyalties.
> “There’s a football match going on on the 21st with Villa and Man Utd — my son’s going to be the mascot,” Kelly said. “So I was going to see if he wanted to go.”
Sidney, born in November 2022, is the son of Kelly and **Sid Wilson**, the turntablist for metal giants **Slipknot**. While he may still be too young to grasp the magnitude of the occasion, the mascot role places him at the heart of a major Premier League fixture during one of football’s most atmospheric periods of the year.
For fans, the moment is another reminder of the enduring bond between Ozzy Osbourne, his family, and Birmingham — where music, football, and culture continue to intertwine across generations.
