Yungblud: ‘Ozzy Osbourne stood for being yourself, without compromise’
Yungblud reflects on how Ozzy Osbourne shaped his life
- Rocker Yungblud has reflected on his tribute to the late Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne at the singer’s farewell show in Birmingham in July.
- Yungblud praised Osbourne as his "North Star" and a symbol of individualism, saying the older singer was a constant presence in his life.
- His performance of the Black Sabbath song "Changes" at the Villa Park event received widespread acclaim for introducing the heavy metal pioneer to younger generations.
- Yungblud said he was nervous before the performance, but “I knew it was an opportunity to show the world how much I love rock and how much I love Ozzy Osbourne”.
- The singer spoke to The Independent at the premiere of his documentary, Yungblud: Are You Ready, Boy?, which will hit cinemas later in August.
