On Halloween, a short video shared by Kelly Osbourne went viral when her two-year-old son, Sidney, playfully reenacted one of rock’s most notorious episodes. Dressed in a skeleton costume with bright red cowboy boots, the toddler gleefully pretended to bite the head off a stuffed bat while Ozzy Osbourne’s 1980 classic “Crazy Train” plays in the background.

Kelly posted the clip to TikTok on Oct. 31 with the caption, “Learned from the greatest, Papa!” The lighthearted moment quickly spread across social platforms, touching fans and family members alike.

The clip nods to a 1982 performance in Des Moines, Iowa, when Ozzy famously bit the head off a bat onstage — an incident that became a defining, if controversial, moment of his career. He later addressed the episode in interviews, noting both the public fascination with the stunt and the unpleasant aftermath.

Osbourne — who died in July at 76 — remained close with his grandson in recent years. Kelly has shared tender glimpses of their family life, saying earlier this year that Sidney’s favorite ritual was “cartoon time” spent in bed with Ozzy and Sharon.

Sharon Osbourne has also spoken openly about grieving her husband’s passing, expressing gratitude for the support the family has received. She shared an Instagram video showcasing a day out with daughter Kelly and called the messages of comfort a source of strength during a difficult time.
