Sidney will take to the pitch of Villa Park over Christmas

Ozzy Osbourne’s three-year-old grandson Sidney will be Aston Villa’s mascot for their match against Manchester United later this month, Kelly Osbourne has revealed.

Aston Villa play Manchester United at Villa Park on Sunday 21st December, the location of Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath’s homecoming Back to the Beginning concert just over five months ago. Ozzy sadly died 17 days after the star-studded farewell show.

Ozzy’s daughter and Sidney’s mum, Kelly Osbourne, made the mascot revelation when talking about brother Jack’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here campmate Angry Ginge, who is a staunch Manchester United fan.

Kelly said: “I’m going to message Angry Ginge because there’s a football match going on on the 21st with Villa and Man Utd – my son’s going to be the mascot. So I was going to see if he wanted to go.”

Speaking about the Osbourne family’s festive plans, Kelly said Jack will be going home to Los Angeles while she remains in the UK.

“My dad was never such a huge fan of Christmas,” Kelly continued via the Daily Mirror. “He always found a way to kind of ruin it. So this year I’m going to figure out a way to try and ruin it for everyone else!”

The Back to the Beginning concert at Villa Park back on Saturday 5th July took place just a stone’s throw away from where Black Sabbath formed more than half a century ago.

Prior to the concert, Aston Villa launched an Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath themed shirt in October 2024, and the club honoured Ozzy with a huge tifo display prior to their Champion’s League match against Celtic in January 2025.

In July 2024, Ozzy and staunch Aston Villa fan Geezer Butler landed starring roles in an advert for Aston Villa’s new home kit.

AT THE 2025 GRAMMYS, ONE VOICE ROSE ABOVE EVERYTHING ELSE. When Steve Perry’s name was announced, the room didn’t erupt—it went still. Because everyone understood what that moment carried. “Wings of Fire” isn’t loud just to be loud. It’s steady. Lived-in. Honest. The kind of singing that comes from years of life, not from chasing trends. You can hear the miles in his voice—the losses, the patience, the fire that never truly went out. Winning Best Rock Vocal Performance wasn’t about proving anything. It was about reminding us: some voices don’t grow old. They grow deeper. And when they rise again, they hit even harder.

“AT 79, HE CAME BACK AFTER 8 YEARS — BUT NOT FOR FAME.” Peter Criss walked onto a New York stage again, not for a reunion or headlines, but for his brother, Ace Frehley. No makeup. No spectacle. Just a green drum kit, fragile songs like Beth, and memories that felt heavier than noise. When old 1977 footage lit up behind him and Rock and Roll All Nite returned, it didn’t feel like a comeback — it felt like a promise kept. And when Peter looked up and said, “You’re still out there, brother,” the night felt less like a concert… and more like a goodbye that wasn’t finished.

“AT EXACTLY MIDNIGHT, MILLIONS STOPPED — AND CARRIE UNDERWOOD TOOK OVER.” Just moments into the new year, Carrie Underwood was already singing. No slow build. No small talk. Fireworks flashed, the clock flipped, and her voice came in strong and steady, like it had been waiting for that second all along. It felt live. Present. Real. Between songs, she smiled straight into the camera and said, “Happy New Year.” Not polished. Not distant. Just human. Confetti fell. Cheers rose. And somehow, across living rooms and screens, it felt shared. Familiar songs turned into a quiet promise that the year could start on a good note. For a few minutes after midnight, Carrie didn’t just perform. She made people feel like they were starting together.

  At first glance, it felt like a familiar New Year’s Eve spectacle — dazzling lights, falling confetti,…
