This memorable moment unfolded during a concert in Sacramento, California, this past Friday night, where Draiman delivered a heartfelt proposal that left the audience in awe.

Heartwarming Proposal Highlights that Captivated Fans

The legendary heavy metal band has been on an extensive tour throughout 2025, commemorating the remarkable 25th anniversary of their debut album, The Sickness, released in 2000. On the night of May 9, they performed at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, where concertgoers were treated to a full rendition of The Sickness. Yet, the true highlight for many attendees was when Draiman took the stage to propose to Uli, a moment that will surely be remembered by all.

According to reports from Setlist.fm, the proposal took place between Disturbed’s iconic cover of Simon & Garfunkel’s “The Sound of Silence” and the penultimate song of the evening, “The Light,” from their 2015 album Immortalized. This timing added to the emotional atmosphere, as fans eagerly awaited the next thrilling moment of the concert.

In a touching video shared on Draiman’s official social media accounts, captioned “We’re engaged!!!,” he begins by engaging the crowd, asking if they are enjoying the show. After receiving a resounding response, he announces, “At this time, I would like to call miss Sarah Uli to the stage, please,” inviting her into the spotlight.

As Uli approaches the stage, Draiman beams with pride and introduces her to the audience, saying, “Everybody, say hello to my lovely lady, Sarah.” The moment was filled with anticipation as he expressed his heartfelt feelings:

“She’s looking at me and she’s wondering, ‘What the heck is he doing?’ Sarah, my love. You have made my life infinitely better. You are the guiding light in the darkness for me. I love you more than anything I have ever loved in this world, and it would be the absolute pinnacle of my life and my existence [Draiman gets on one knee and takes out ring] – Sarah Uli, will you marry me?”

The response from the audience was overwhelmingly enthusiastic, with cheers ringing out as Sarah wiped away tears of joy and nodded in agreement. Draiman then placed a ring on her finger, sealing the moment with a warm embrace before confirming that she had indeed said “yes.”

In a similar vein, Uli took to her social media platforms to share several photos capturing the proposal, writing, “The happiest moment ever with the love of my life. We are engaged!!!!” This sentiment resonated with fans, who flooded both their social media accounts with love and congratulations.

The excitement from the crowd was palpable during the proposal, and Draiman and Uli’s social media updates have sparked an outpouring of joy and support from fans thrilled to hear the news of their engagement.

Exploring the Beautiful Relationship Between Draiman and Uli

As many devoted fans of Disturbed may already know, Draiman and Uli began their romance following Draiman’s divorce from model and actress Lena Yada in 2023, after approximately 11 years of marriage. Their son, Samuel Bear Isamu Draiman, was born in 2013, and after their separation, Draiman turned to Tinder in hopes of finding the right partner. He candidly shared his experiences on social media, noting, “I’ll tell you, it’s been weird so far. Lots of scammers. Trying to figure out how to navigate this new terrain.”

During this challenging period, Draiman also spoke openly about the emotional toll the divorce took on him, particularly in relation to the loss of his dog and “best friend” of 14 years, which significantly impacted his mental health. This vulnerability made the announcement of his relationship with Uli in January 2024 even more heartwarming.

Uli is not only a model but also brings a wealth of experience in marketing leadership and sales roles. According to TheOrg, she holds a degree in Business with a focus on Marketing from Bryan College. This combination of beauty and brains makes her an admirable partner for Draiman, and fans have embraced their relationship wholeheartedly.

Recent News Surrounding Draiman and Disturbed

Apart from his engagement, Draiman recently made headlines by responding to a lyric change made by Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day during their performance at this year’s Coachella festival. On April 12, during their rendition of “Jesus of Suburbia” from the iconic album American Idiot, Armstrong altered a lyric to reflect current events, changing it from “Running away from pain when you’ve been victimized” to “Running away from pain like the kids from Palestine.”

Two days later, Draiman took to social media to extend an open invitation to Armstrong, stating: “Open offer to #BillyJoeArmstrong from @GreenDay. You know I respect you brother. I’d love to have the opportunity for you to hear the Israeli/Jewish side of this horrific war. I’m available to discuss whenever you are. No judgment, nothing preconceived. Let me know.” However, Draiman has yet to receive a response from Armstrong or anyone else from Green Day.

In addition, Draiman expressed his gratitude towards Sharon Osbourne for condemning the Irish hip-hop group Kneecap for their anti-Israel sentiments during Coachella. Osbourne took to social media to voice her concerns about Kneecap’s political statements, which included projections of anti-Israel messages and open support for terrorist organizations. Draiman shared her post and thanked her in the comments, showcasing his support for her stance.

Meanwhile, Disturbed delighted James B. Jones, a star from Love on the Spectrum who is a massive fan of the band, by inviting him to meet them during a VIP meet-and-greet at their concert in Boston, Massachusetts, on March 14. This interaction highlighted the band’s dedication to connecting with their fans on a personal level.
