Kelly Osbourne's Boyfriend Sid Wilson Says His Face Is "Basically Melted" After Explosion

Kelly Osbourne and Sid Wilson are feeling thankful.
Days after Ozzy Osbourne and Sharon Osbourne's daughter shared that her boyfriend of two years was recovering from serious burns over large parts of his body due to an explosion, the Slipknot member is looking back on the dangerous accident.
"I've had better days, I guess," Sid told Fox News Digital in an interview published Aug. 28, "but I'm alive, so I'm doing good."
The 47-year-old shared that his injuries include bandages on his "whole right arm" as well as half of his left arm.
"My face is basically melted from nose down," he continued. "But the swelling's gone down, and they said the face is kind of amazing that it's regenerative, it happens real fast, seems to heal quickly."
Sid also explained exactly what led to the explosion on the couple's property in Iowa—where they live with their 21-month-old son Sidney—noting that he was checking in on a wood burn pile at the time.
"A few nights ago, I lit it and let it burn down," he said. "So, the next day, I went to check it to see, you know, how much was left, if anything. And there was a certain amount of debris around the side still left, so I, like a dummy, [did] what I'm not supposed to do, but I added some gas to it."
According to Sid, he originally took the gas can far away from the pile and was looking for a branch to light. But when he couldn't find one, he said his "lack of patience got the better of me, and I was like, screw it. I'll be all right, you know?."
"And I squatted down and reached out and lit it," he added, "and it just, it was really humid out so there was still a lot of vapors lingering around in there, and it just … woof. Exploded."
Sid quickly jumped into his car and ran to the house where he grabbed Kelly and their son and drove to a nearby urgent care. He was then transferred to a larger hospital in Des Moines and continued to be treated for his burns.
And while Sid admits that his memory starts to get hazy around that time because of the pain medication, Kelly remembers it all very well.
"They basically dressed the wounds and put all of this fake scab [stuff] all over [his] body," she explained, "until they could get to the burn unit and they could take the scabs off."
And Sid is incredibly thankful to have the 39-year-old by his side during the ordeal.
"She's been completely invaluable," he gushed. "She's amazing. Being here and taking care of all that for me, I'm not really sure what I'd be doing if she wasn't here doing that."
Kelly joked that she's had "a pretty good attitude about it," with Sid assuring her that she really has.
Luckily for the couple, son Sidney hasn't seemed to notice all of the stress that's been around him.
Sid noted, "He's young enough that he's still just kind of having a good time through the whole thing."
For now, the "Duality" musician is struggling through low energy, although he's not going to let that get him down. But more than anything, he can't believe the experience he went through.
"The hardest part is just feeling stupid for doing it," he said. "It's not even the physical part. It's like going, like, 'Oh, man, I really learned that the hard way.' I've got to make sure I just slow down sometimes and really examine the situation before I just dive in headfirst."
He's hoping to get back on the road with Slipknot soon, especially because he doesn't believe he'll need surgery or skin grafts.
"As long as my hands are OK," he said, "I should be able to pull it off."
Since Sid's accident, he and Kelly have also been incredibly grateful for all the love and support they've felt around them.
"I just want to take a second to say thank you to everyone who's been sending well wishes to Sid," Kelly said in an Aug. 24 Instagram video. "He's doing so much better."
And of course, she made sure to issue a stern warning on her Instagram Stories the day before, saying, "This is why you don't f--k with burn piles."
