Disturbed's David Draiman proposes to girlfriend onstage
The 52-year-old rocker asked his girlfriend of more than a year, model Sarah Uli, to be his wife at the heavy metal band's concert in Sacramento on May 9.
In a tear-jerking moment, he told her onstage at the Golden 1 Center: "You are the light in the darkness for me."
David - who has 11-year-old son, Samuel, with his first wife, Lena Yada - invited his partner to join him onstage.
He told the crowd: 'At this time, I would like to call Miss Sarah Uli to the stage, please.
'Everyone say hello to my lovely lady Sarah.
'And she's looking at me and she's wondering, 'What the f*** is he doing?'"
He then paid a touching tribute to the model: 'Sarah, my love, you have made my life so much better. You are the light in the darkness for me. I love you more than anything I have ever loved in this world, and it would be the absolute pinnacle of my life and my existence…'
David then got down on one knee before they performed 'The Light'.
He asked her: "Sarah Uli, will you marry me?"
She agreed and was seen wiping her happy tears away.
The couple made their romance Instagram official in January 2024, with David penning alongside a picture of the pair: 'She completes me. [red love heart] My goddess."
The 'Down with the Sickness' rockers are currently on a 25th anniversary tour for their debut studio album, 'The Sickness'.

Footage surfaces of Dave Franco, Alison Brie's ‘nasty' public act
Don't miss out on the headlines from Celebrity Life. Followed categories will be added to My News. Alison Brie and Dave Franco might be taking togetherness a step too far. Footage of Brie cutting Franco's toenails while sitting on a picnic blanket in Griffith Park in Los Angeles surfaced on social media on Tuesday — and fans had plenty of thoughts. The Community actress was seen discarding her husband's toenails in the grass, as he scrolled through his phone looking completely unbothered, per Page Six. While some were grossed out, others speculated it might just be promotion for their new horror flick, Together, in which they play a co-dependent couple. 'They're both comedians. They tend to do stuff like this, the cameraman is probably even with them,' one Reddit commenter wrote. 'This is probably staged, and if it's not, the person filming is a lot weirder than they are,' another chimed in. 'This got to be for the new movie cuz why else would they be doing this in public?' a third speculated. Franco and Brie at the SAG Awards in 2018. Picture: Frederick M. Brown/Getty Images Meanwhile, others couldn't contain their disgust. 'Yeah that's nasty Alison,' one user reacted via X, while another commented, 'Doing this for a man in private is also wild …' Another user chimed in, 'TMI. Some things don't need to be shared on here man.' Brie, 42, and Franco, 40, have already made waves with the promo for Together, a supernatural horror film they starred in and produced. They've worked together multiple times on films. Picture: Instagram On Monday, Neon Films posted a picture on Instagram of the two intimately kissing in front of a billboard of their characters kissing in the film, encouraging people to take similar photos. 'The perfect couple in 'the perfect date night horror movie,'' the caption reads in part. Brie and Franco have been married since March 2017 and have worked together multiple times. She previously talked about what it was like having her husband direct her sex scenes with Jay Ellis in the movie Somebody I Used to Know. 'I realise that it sounds wild, but we are actors, this is our job,' she told Jezebel. 'It's actually not that weird. And with something like this, because it's our baby that we made together, I think our first priority is always just the movie.'

‘Give the Hottest 100 to Kyle and Jackie O': Ben Lee's radical plan to save Triple J and Aussie music
Ben Lee is no stranger to the transformative power of Triple J's Hottest 100, having twice finished in the top two of the annual countdown. First, in 1998, his track Cigarettes Will Kill You came second to The Offspring's Pretty Fly (For A White Guy), while Catch My Disease finished behind Bernard Fanning's Wish You Well in the 2005 poll. But on the eve of Triple J's voting deadline for the Hottest 100 of Australian songs, with audiences encouraged to vote for their favourite ever homegrown tracks, the musician believes the public broadcaster could be doing more to support local talent. Posting to Instagram earlier this week, Lee outlined his vision for a new and improved Hottest 100. 'I reckon the Hottest 100 every year should only be eligible to vote for Australian songs,' Lee said. 'There's enough platforms around the world for international music.' Lee's idea comes after last year's Hottest 100, won by American artist Chappell Roan with Good Luck, Babe. The 2024 poll is the third-lowest-ever showing for local talent, behind the first two in 1993 and 1994 (and equal to 1996). 'It's easy to get complacent and be like, 'Triple J does so much more for Australian music than other commercial stations.' And that's true, but it shouldn't really be judged by the same standards as a commercial enterprise,' Lee said. 'It's like going, 'Medicare does so much for Australian healthcare.' Well, yeah, that's the point.'
