Yungblud has revealed the sad message he received from Jack Osbourne after Ozzy Osbourne’s death and confessed to his dream as he opened up on his friendship with the late rocker
Yungblud has shared the devastating text message Jack Osbourne sent him after Ozzy Osbourne’s death. The singer, whose real name is Dominic Harrison, had forged a strong bond with the Prince of Darkness and his family before the star died aged 76 last month.
The 28-year-old rocker had been a part of Ozzy’s epic Back to the Beginning concert at Villa Park last month just weeks before the Black Sabbath frontman passed. And he even gave him a unique and personal gift on the day, repaying his loyalties.
Now, he has described the “weird” couple of weeks that have followers Ozzy’s passing. “You get to know someone personally, who you love. And then they leave,” he said.

Speaking to the Sun, he added: “I was texting him, then his son Jack texted me and said, ‘He’s gone.’ I’m like, ‘What?’ “Being around the family and being at the funeral, the amount of love there. That family are real as f***k.”
And Dominic revealed his dream would be to echo the Osbourne family away from the cameras. “The dream is to have kids and a family like that,” he confessed. “There’s no gimmicks. It’s authentic.”
He had previously admitted he has found the death of his mentor “overwhelming” after previously declaring the star as “the greatest of all time” in a touching tribute. The chart topping singer candidly explained that the sudden death of his friend has been hard to process.
He told The Times: “I told a friend that I thought Ozzy had another five albums in him. And then he did the show and then he died. It’s so overwhelming.”
“I just love him and right till the very end he supported me. I get emotional, because I’ve loved him since I was about two.”
And he added: “He taught me self-belief and so I’m going to take his spirit and make sure everybody knows for the rest of my life who Ozzy Osbourne was – he meant everything to me.” The report also explained that the singer learned of Ozzy’s death while he was on a remote island without internet access where he had been recording new music.
Yungblud took to Instagram to shares candid photos of himself chatting to and smiling alongside wheelchair bound Ozzy in a touching tribute online following his death. He wrote alongside the snaps: “I didn’t think you would leave so soon the last time we met you were so full of life and your laugh filled up the room. But as it is written with legends, they seem to know the things that we don’t.
“I will never forget you – you will be in every single note I sing and with me every single time I walk on stage. Your cross around my neck is the most precious thing I own. You asked me once if there was anything you could do for me and as I said then and as I will say now for all of us the music was enough.
“You took us on your adventure – an adventure that started it all. I am truly heartbroken. You were the greatest of all time.”
On Tuesday evening Yungblud was also joined by his mum on the red carpet for his upcoming documentary film. He took his mum Samantha Jane Harrison as his date for the London premiere of Yungblud: Are You Ready, Boy?
