Kelly Osbourne and Sid Wilson of Slipknot have a date at the Grammys
Kelly Osbourne and her partner, Sid Wilson of Slipknot, chat with USA TODAY’s Ralphie Aversa at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards.
Kelly Osbourne issues a warning to social media after her partner, Slipknot DJ Sid Wilson, played around with “Burn Piles.”
On Friday, Osbourne posted a video to her Instagram story of herself holding the couple’s baby while Wilson is being treated at a hospital behind her and she sent a profanity-laced warning to her 2.7 million Instagram followers.
Osbourne urged her fans not to mess with “burn piles,” adding, “He literally lit himself on fire and made everything explode.” She also posted a photo of herself and her baby Sidney playing and talking in the video, with an Instagram sticker that read, “I’m at a loss for words.”
In a video on Instagram, she added: “Good morning everyone. I just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who has sent well wishes and prayers for Sid. He is doing so much better. In fact, we are on our way to pick him up from the hospital right now.”
Osbourne said she would provide another update later, adding that Wilson is “still in a lot of pain.” The incident followed happier times for the family earlier this week.
On Thursday, Osbourne shared a video of Sidney, whom they welcomed in late 2022, playing and “celebrating” with the animals. She uploaded a video of her son at the zoo, which her followers speculated was taken at Blank Park Zoo in Des Moines, Iowa. The audio of the cute video was set to “Party with the Animals,” her father Ozzy Osbourne’s 1991 hit.

“See you on tour”: Sid Wilson promises to be ready for Slipknot tour
On Friday, Wilson also shared photos of the incident in two Instagram videos that appeared to have been taken around the same time Osbourne described the alarming moment.
“I had an explosion in my face,” the father said in a terrifying Instagram post, adding: “I’m going to be OK, but I have some serious burns on my face and arms.”
He continued, “They’re doing some x-rays of my chest right now to make sure I didn’t inhale any flames,” before telling his fans, “I don’t care what it takes, see you on tour.” Wilson said he had blisters in his mouth and burns on his arms, and the video showed his lips were extremely swollen. He added that he cut off a finger over the 2024 holidays.
A post on Slipknot’s Instagram page said Friday: “Our brother Sid Wilson was in an accident today and suffered burns all over his body. He is currently recovering surrounded by family and will still be on stage with us at Rocklahoma next weekend.” The band is scheduled to perform at the music festival in Pryor, Oklahoma on September 1 as they kick off their nationwide “Here Comes The Pain” tour.
Osbourne speaks openly about the couple’s disagreements
Osbourne, who was visibly distraught in the hospital video, has spoken out about the couple’s disputes before. In February, Osbourne spoke about changing her son’s last name after she and her boyfriend, Sid Wilson of Slipknot, had the biggest fight of their relationship over it.
On “The Osbournes Podcast,” the 39-year-old “One Word” singer revealed that she and Wilson had a “huge” argument over the name of their son Sidney. She wanted the child, who will be born in 2022, to have both of their last names, but Wilson “wouldn’t let me,” Osbourne said.
“I feel like I was forced to do something I didn’t want to do and I can never forgive him for that, but we can move on,” Osbourne said.
