Ozzy Osbourne's Legacy Lives On Through Adorable Grandson's Bat-Biting Reenactment
In a spooky yet heartwarming Halloween tribute, Ozzy Osbourne's 2-year-old grandson Sidney recreated one of his grandfather's most infamous moments from rock history. The adorable toddler was seen wearing a skeleton outfit and red cowboy boots, gleefully biting the head off a stuffed bat in a TikTok video shared by Kelly Osbourne, Ozzy's daughter.
The clip plays over Ozzy's 1980 hit "Crazy Train" and nods directly to his infamous 1982 concert in Des Moines, Iowa, where he bit the head off a real bat onstage – a career-defining stunt that has followed him for decades. Kelly captioned the video with a cheeky message: "Learned from the greatest, Papa!"
This spooky-ooky moment is a testament to Ozzy's enduring legacy and his grandson's natural affinity for all things rock 'n' roll. The metal icon himself spoke openly about the incident in later years, saying, "I've achieved quite a lot in my life, but all people do is go, 'Ozzy, what do bats really taste like?'"
Meanwhile, Kelly shared that her son's favorite time of day was "cartoon time" with Ozzy and Sharon earlier this year, highlighting the special bond between the little one and his grandfather. Last month, Sharon also opened up about Ozzy's passing on social media, expressing her gratitude for the overwhelming love and support she received from fans.
As Ozzy's music lives on through his family, it's clear that his spirit continues to inspire a new generation of rock enthusiasts – including a certain little bat-biter in training.

. It's so cool to see his grandson growin' up with a love for rock 'n' roll, just like his granddad. And that Kelly video is straight fire! I'm sure Ozzy would be proud of Sidney's little stunt 
. It's heartwarming to see the bond between Ozzy and Sharon with their son too. The Osbourne family just gets me 
.
Sidney's bat bite is giving me LIFE! 
Little dude's got the metal gene 
The fact that Ozzy was so open about the whole bat incident shows how much he loved being the rock star his dad is now... I guess some things just never get old 
.
... but at the same time, I'm like, "Wait, isn't that kinda creepy? I mean, Ozzy did bite a real bat on stage, and now his toddler son is doing it in a costume? It's just a bit too much for me 
..." But then again, I guess it's also kinda adorable that the little guy is into rock 'n' roll already... 
!
I'm sure Ozzy's proud grandma Kelly is totally not embarrassed by her son's little stunt either... Meanwhile, it's adorable that the kid's favorite cartoon time is with his grandfather – I'm picturing some epic storytime sessions about bats and face-melting guitar solos 
. Those rock 'n' roll genes run deep, for sure 
my heart just melted seeing sidney recreate ozzy's iconic moment it's like he's carrying on the legacy of rock 'n' roll in his own adorable way 
and let's be real, who wouldn't want a bat-biting toddler in their life? 
sharon's been on fire sharing those posts too 
And what's with all these "learned from the greatest" captions? Can't we come up with something more original? 
On the bright side, Ozzy's legacy is still going strong and it's awesome to see his family carrying on the rock 'n' roll tradition. But, for real though, can we take a break from these celebrity kids recreating their parents' antics already? 
My attention span is dying over here... 
and over 100M streams on Spotify alone! And get this - his song "Crazy Train" is still a fan fave after all these years! 
And here are some more stats: Ozzy's highest-grossing tour was the "No More Tours" tour in 2005, grossing $150M
