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.
