After His Stellar Cover of “Changes,” YUNGBLUD Promises To Continue Playing That Song At Every Live Show

In February of 2022, Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne starred in YUNGBLUD‘s music video for “The Funeral,” the start of a friendship, and a mentorship, that we got to watch at its peak on stage on the 5th of July.

Ever since that day that Ozzy and Sharon starred in that music video, have they looked out for YUNGBLUD, also known as Dominic Harrison. YUNGBLUD was mentored in his career and in his rockstar persona by both Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne, as they gave him advice on navigating a ‘rockstar’s career. The relationship between the two became so strong that Ozzy even gifted YUNGBLUD his beloved cross necklace, which Harrison famously had recreated and gifted back to Ozzy on the night of Back To The Beginning.

It’s probably due to one thing – the Osbournes see YUNGBLUD as a younger Ozzy. He all but proved it to them on The Osbournes podcast last summer, where Sharon and Kelly Osbourne asked Harrison questions about himself, and YUNGBLUD answered every single one of them like ‘young’ Ozzy would.

So, there’s a standing relationship between the two, beyond just that night at Back To The Beginning. Maybe that’s what helped Harrison put on a performance of a lifetime – he was performing for the grandfather of metal, his mentor, his hero.

And because of that stellar performance, YUNGBLUD has vowed to play “Changes” at every single show for the rest of his life. He says so in a caption of a video uploaded to Instagram. It reads:

I’m trying to compute the last couple days and honestly I’m absolutely fucking shattered.

You have been my North Star for everything for as long as I can remember from when I was misunderstood as a child to the way people thought I was just a little “too much” or “strange” in my life and career.

I owe so much to you, your wife and your family – you all gave me a road to run down and supported me when people would turn their nose up.

You loved life so much and you adored music. It was your smile man. You taught me it was beautiful to be out of the box.

I promise you with all my heart I will try my best and make it my life’s journey to keep the sprit that you started and what you have taught me alive. I will give it my best shot.

To sing this song for you at an event surrounded by legends inspired by you to a crowd that loved you was truly my life’s greatest honour and I vow to play this song every night for the rest of my life.

You’re my hero in every regard. I hope you’re up there avin a drink with Randy.

For the prince of darkness you sure brought all the light to the world. I love you Ozzy.

All of the proceeds for the streams and purchases of “Changes” are being donated to charity.
