Sid Wilson: The musician who proposed to Kelly Osbourne at Black Sabbath's final show
The DJ, 48, started dating the Prince of Darkness' daughter in 2022, after being good friends for a number of years – and on Saturday (5 July), it was announced that Wilson and Osbourne got engaged at Black Sabbath's farewell show.
Born in Iowa to English parents, Wilson, who shares son Sidney with Kelly, started his musical career with Sound Proof Coalition, a group of DJ's from Des Moines.
In 1998, Wilson joined the heavy metal band Slipknot as a keyboardist and turntablist, featuring on the band's debut, self-titled album, which was released in 1999.
Within Slipknot, who use numerical stage names, ranging from 0 to 8, Wilson is known as #0, producing sound effects and background noises for the group's music.
In 2008, during Slipknot's All Hope is Gone tour, Wilson shattered both his heels after diving off the stage while performing in Washington.
The musician is also known as the designer for some of Slipknot's original face masks, which are worn during their live performances to complement the eeriness of the band's music.
Variations of gas masks have become synonymous with Wilson, who first wore an altered British Civil Duty gas mask in 1999.
Since the 2000s, Wilson has also toured as a jungle musician under the name DJ Starscream, which derives from the Transformers character of the same name.
The musician is currently signed to N20 Records, a US-Japanese label.
On Saturday, Osbourne, 40, shared a video on Instagram of the DJ popping the question backstage at her father Ozzy's final show.
In the clip, Wilson took his partner's hand and said: 'Kelly, you know I love you more than anything in the world.'
Ozzy comedically interjected with: 'F*** off, you're not marrying my daughter.'
Wilson continued: 'Nothing would make me happier than to spend the rest of my life with you.
'So, in front of your family and all of our friends, Kelly, will you marry me?'
Wilson then pulled a ring box out of his fanny pack and got down on one knee.
Osbourne nodded her head to say yes to the proposal, before Wilson put the ring on her finger and hugged her.
The couple's family and friends were seen cheering and clapping about the news, including Kelly's parents.
She celebrated the special moment in the caption of her Instagram post, writing: 'Oh and this happened yesterday!'
In February 2022, Kelly publicly revealed she and Wilson were dating, after being close friends for more than two decades.
The news of Wilson's engagement to Kelly came after Ozzy and Black Sabbath's other original members Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward, took to the stage for one final time at Villa Park in their home city of Birmingham.
The concert, titled Back to the Beginning, also featured performances from bands including Guns N' Roses, Metallica, Slayer, and Tool.

Country singer Pat Green has revealed that members of his family are among the missing in the floods that hit central Texas over the last week, calling it a "heartbreaking and deeply personal loss." "We are grieving alongside countless Texans whose lives have been upended by this tragedy," he wrote on Instagram on Monday. "Right now, we kindly ask for privacy and space as we mourn, support each other, and begin to process what comes next for our family." Green's wife, Kori Green, added that the "I Love Texas" singer's younger brother "John, his wife, Julia, and two of their children were swept away in the Kerrville flood. We are heartbroken and anxiously waiting for all of them to be found. Thank you for your prayers." Green postponed a concert last Sunday amid the flooding, writing on the Fourth of July on his Facebook page, "Due to the unforeseen weather and tragedy around the Texas Hill Country, it has been decided to postpone tomorrow night's show," adding that the new date will be on Aug. 16. More than 100 people have died in Texas after a storm caused flash flooding in the central part of the state, including 27 children at a summer camp, while dozens remain missing. Green received an outpouring of support on his social media, with followers writing, "Y'all haven't been far from our minds.

James Gunn Expects to Read Two BATMAN Scripts by Year's End — GeekTyrant
James Gunn is keeping busy shaping the future of the DCU, and Batman fans may want to start paying close attention. According to Gunn, he expects two completed Batman scripts to be in his hands before the end of 2025. One of them is almost certainly The Batman: Part II . Co-written by Matt Reeves and Mattson Tomlin, the script is already finished and turned in, though Gunn may not have read it yet. 'I've been told it's done,' Gunn said in a recent update, hinting that it's on his radar. This sequel will continue Reeves' noir-soaked take on the Dark Knight, picking up after the events of the first film, with Robert Pattinson back under the cowl. So what's the second script? It's likely The Brave and the Bold , the DCU's in-universe Batman reboot, first announced by Gunn in January 2023 as part of Chapter One: Gods and Monsters. Andy Muschietti ( The Flash ) is locked in to direct, but the screenwriter still hasn't been officially named. Gunn did confirm that it's in active development, and if he's expecting a script this year, things may be further along than we think. There's also the growing theory that before we even get to The Brave and the Bold , the DCU's Batman could show up in a World's Finest movie, possibly as the follow-up to Superman. That film, starring David Corenswet and set for release on July 11, 2025, kicks off Gunn's new cinematic DC universe. If World's Finest is this other project, it could double as our first look at the DCU's new Caped Crusader. But, we'll have to wait and see. Gunn has never been shy about his love for Batman. He's mentioned more than once that the character is his personal favorite, and his recent comments suggest the DCU isn't going to sit around waiting to bring the Dark Knight into the fold. But, by the time the year ends, we may be looking at two radically different Batmen, each with their own world, tone, and trajectory. One will remain rooted in Reeves' gritty Gotham, while the other will be part of a growing, interconnected DCU.
