It's an unmistakable nod to his grandfather Ozzy Osbourne’s legendary bat-biting stunt. The video shows Sidney in skeleton pajamas and red cowboy boots, cracking up laughing while pulling the bat’s head free with his teeth. Kelly captions it: “Learned from the greatest, Papa!”.
Ozzy Bites
Ozzy’s infamous incident dates back to January 20, 1982, in Des Moines, Iowa, when he bit the head off what he thought was a rubber toy bat, but turned out to be real, leading to rabies shots and rock-n-roll history.
Fans React as They Watch Ozzy's Grandson Bite the Bat
Fans reacted with delight, pointing out how much Sidney resembles his grandpa, and celebrating the playful tribute. Comments ranged from “Little Ozzy in training” to “That’s the Osbourne legacy in one clip.”
With Ozzy’s passing in July 2025 at age 76, this clip feels especially poignant. It's a very Osbourne family way of honoring his wild legacy and celebrating Halloween, while reminding us that rock runs in the family. Ozzy approved.
