Yungblud fans are set to get a sneak peek behind his rise to fame in his upcoming documentary, and the singer has once again paid a fitting tribute to his late pal rocker Ozzy Osbourne. The duo held a special relationship with Yungblud – whose real name is Dom Harrison – taking to the stage to sing a brilliant version of Changes at Back to the Beginning last month.
Now, as he gets ready to release his new documentary, Yungblud has revealed his love for the Black Sabbath star weeks after his tragic death.
“Ozzy is everything to me, always has been,” he revealed. He went on to label the 76-year-old star his “hero” and saying being a part of his final farewell was an honour.

Speaking to Sky News, the 28-year-old singer added: “To be able to go on stage and honour my hero and sing that song to him, without knowing that they were his final days, was everything to me.
“I will try my best to keep that spirit and keep that energy alive. I love that guy. I got to know him personally at the end and I love that family. I’ve got nothing but love, always.”
Yungblud’s documentary, titled Are You Ready, Boy?, was filmed at the famous Hansa Studios in Berlin. The studios were also used by the likes of David Bowie and U2. The feature-length film, directed by Bafta-winner Paul Dugdale, charts Dom’s early life growing up in Doncaster and shows him performing at the legendary Hansa Studios in Berlin, the birthplace of David Bowie’s album Heroes, and U2’s Achtung Baby.
Ever proud of his northern roots, Dom made his new album in Leeds so it could have an authentic vibe. And the artist admitted it as been “pretty uncomfortable” to watch his latest production as he took in the premiere. “I think in this day and age, it’s very easy for us to cut around things and make them palatable and digestible.
“I wanted to do something that would be raw and uncomfortable, and this is what came out.”
It comes after he hinted at a “secret recording” before friend Ozzy Osbourne’s death. Speaking at the time, he hinted he was working with Sabbath star Ozzy at a possible secret recording with his mentor, saying: “There is a lot in the works as me and Ozzy are friends.”
However, he recently shared the heartbreaking way her found out Ozzy had died. The Hello Heaven, Hello singer revealed he learned of the rock icon’s death while he was on an island that had no internet service available.
As he shared his feelings about his death recently, he said he found it “overwhelming” after previously declaring the star as “the greatest of all time” in a touching tribute.
The chart topping singer has candidly explained that the sudden death of his friend has been hard to process. “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,” he said.
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.”
