Ozzy Osbourne’s grandson recreates famous bat incident in new video

Kelly Osbourne’s child is already emulating the family’s rock ‘n’ roll legacy, as seen in a recent viral video where he bites the head off a toy bat. The nearly 3-year-old son of Kelly and Slipknot’s Sid Wilson, Sidney, was captured on camera enjoying a plush bat while Crazy Train played in the background. In the clip shared on social media, Sidney proudly flashes a grin after munching on the toy’s head, reminiscent of his iconic grandfather, Ozzy. Kelly captioned the video with “Learned from the greatest, Papa!” and fans couldn’t get enough of the adorable moment.

Commenters were quick to point out the resemblance between little Sid and his famous granddad. One person noted, “That smile – he’s definitely a little Ozzy,” while another exclaimed, “doppelgänger!!!!!!” The strong Osbourne genes were evident in Sidney’s appearance, with many fans acknowledging the family resemblance.

The bat-biting incident pays homage to one of rock music’s most notorious moments from 1982. During a concert in Des Moines, Iowa, Ozzy infamously bit the head off a real bat thrown onto the stage, mistaking it for a fake prop. As recounted in his book, I Am Ozzy, Ozzy was shocked when his mouth filled with “warm, gloopy liquid” upon biting into the bat. He had to undergo rabies shots for the remainder of the tour, but the incident became legendary in the rock music world. It’s a piece of history that his grandson is now playfully carrying on, albeit with a plush toy replica of the bat.

Fans can even purchase their own version of the toy bat from Ozzy Osbourne’s official merchandise website. The playful nod to this iconic moment shows just how deeply ingrained the Osbourne legacy is in the family, spanning generations and delighting fans worldwide. The viral video of Sidney emulating his grandfather’s famous act serves as a heartwarming reminder of the Osbourne family’s enduring impact on the world of music and entertainment.
