Who knew that the home of Gibson Guitars and Bell's Brewery was also the place that Ozzy Osbourne popped the question to Sharon?

Sharon Osbourne posted a "Flashback Friday" photo to Twitter today of the special day, with the caption "The day Ozzy proposed to me in Kalamazoo, MI '81", MLive reports. 

It looks like a cold day, blustery day in Kzoo back in 1981 when Ozzy asked Sharon to marry him. The two appear to be bundled up in some interesting looking fur coats.

MLive did some digging, trying to find out if Ozzy played a show in Kalamazoo in '81:

We couldn't immediately find a reference to Ozzy playing in Kalamazoo in 1981. However, setlist.fm shows he was at Wings Stadium on Feb. 9, 1982, supporting his second solo album, Diary of a Madman."

He did have other shows in Michigan around that time though: Detroit, Saginaw, Clarkston, and Grand Rapids.

So yeah. Hell yeah Ozzy and Sharon got engaged in Kalamazoo: Pure Michigan, y'all.
