Yungblud vows to play Ozzy Osbourne's Changes 'every night'
The music star was left devastated following the passing of the Black Sabbath legend - who died on Tuesday (22.07.25) at the age of 76 - just two weeks after his big Back To The Beginning reunion show in Birmingham, England. Yungblud performed Black Sabbath song Changes during the show and has since released it as a single to raise funds for charity - and now he's vowed to sing it every night to honour his late pal.
In a post on Instagram, Yungblud shared his grief over the loss of his hero. He wrote: "I'm trying to compute the last couple days and honestly I'm absolutely f****** 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."
He added of his Changes cover: "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 [sic] a drink with Randy [Ozzy's late guitarist Randy Rhoads].
"For the prince of darkness you sure brought all the light to the world. I love you Ozzy."
Yungblud's version of Changes - recorded at the Black Sabbath reunion show at Villa Park on July 5 - has been released to raise funds for organisations including Cure Parkinson's, Birmingham Children's Hospital, and Acorns Children's Hospice.
The musician said of the release: "This was hands down the biggest moment of my entire life. I got to stand on stage and honour one of my heroes, and the fact that it has touched so many is truly overwhelming ...
"The best part about this release is that we can take such a monumental moment, immortalise it on tape, release it and donate all the money to such important causes in Cure Parkinson's, Birmingham Children's Hospital, and Acorns Children's Hospice.
"This is what Rock and roll is about. Stream it, buy it, add it to your playlist - let's raise some f****** money."

Jennifer Lopez suffers embarrassing mid-performance wardrobe malfunction: ‘Glad I had underwear on'
I see London, I see France. Jennifer Lopez laughed off a cheeky wardrobe malfunction while performing in Warsaw, Poland, on Friday. The 'On the Floor' songstress was left standing in a pair of green high-waisted underwear and sheer tights after a silver fringe skirt slipped off her hips, per a video shared via YouTube. Lopez, 56, initially gasped while attempting to grab the skirt before it hit the floor. She quickly changed her demeanor and flaunted her figure around the stage, wearing only the briefs, a green bedazzled bra, long green gloves and tights. 'I'm here in my underwear,' the pop star told the crowd. One of Lopez's background dancers attempted to help her put the skirt back on while the band sang 'Happy Birthday' to the hitmaker, whose 56th year around the sun was on Thursday. However, after the skirt didn't latch, Lopez took it off and threw it into the audience. Joking about the incident, she told the crowd, 'I'm glad that they reinforced that costume. And I'm glad I had underwear on. I don't usually wear underwear.' Several fans praised the actress's graceful reaction, with one commenting on Instagram, 'She is everything that is right in this world.' 'ðŸ'ðŸ'🙌ðŸ'¥ðŸ˜ðŸ˜‚life is too short love how she and her staffs [sic] handle it ðŸ',' another gushed. 'She's so cute, then she threw it out into the crowd. Legend!' a third added. Lopez has been on the road for her Up  All Night: Live in 2025 tour in Europe and she celebrated her birthday at her tour stop in Turkey last week. Videos posted to her Instagram Story showed her wearing a silver gown while standing in front of a massive cake. Lopez, meanwhile, is no stranger to wardrobe malfunctions. The 'Selena' star suffered from a nip-slip when she stepped out in a plunging beach gown in New York City. At the time, she was attending a Ring Them Bells benefit concert in honor of John Kander's 98th birthday.

Ozzy Osbourne's autobiography will be 'uncensored'
Ozzy Osbourne's autobiography has been described as a "brutally honest" book containing the singer's last confessions. The iconic star died on July 22, aged 76, and his upcoming autobiography will explore the ups and downs of his life, including the cheating scandal that almost ended his marriage in 2016. "This book was basically Ozzy's last confessions and contains a lot of passages about how he is sorry for the affair," a source told Britain's The Sun on Sunday newspaper. "As he was always brutally honest during his life, it's been decided not a word will be changed, even about painful times in his life and how his affair affected Sharon." The 72-year-old TV star - who married Osbourne in 1982 - is expected to write a foreword to the book, which is titled Last Rites. "Sharon is made of stern stuff and the publishers know she will want to leave her fingerprint on this book. Writing its foreword will also be cathartic for her and act as a way of laying Ozzy to rest," the source said. The autobiography is set to be published in October. The blurb reads: "Last Rites is the shocking, bitterly hilarious, never-before-told story of Ozzy's descent into hell. "Along the way, he reflects on his extraordinary life and career, including his marriage to wife Sharon, alongside his reflections on what it took for him to get back onstage for the triumphant Back to the Beginning concert, streamed around the world, where Ozzy reunited with his Black Sabbath bandmates for the final time. "Unflinching, brutally honest, but surprisingly life-affirming, Last Rites demonstrates once again why Ozzy has transcended his status as 'The Godfather of Metal' and 'The Prince of Darkness' to become a modern-day folk hero and national treasure." Osbourne's death was announced by his family, who revealed he was "surrounded by love" when he died. "It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love," their statement said. Ozzy Osbourne's autobiography has been described as a "brutally honest" book containing the singer's last confessions.

Sharon Osbourne 'won battle with insurers ahead of Ozzy's last gig'
Sharon Osbourne fought a behind-the-scenes battle with insurance companies ahead of Ozzy Osbourne's last-ever gig. The Black Sabbath frontman passed away on July 22, aged 76, but Sharon ensured that Ozzy - who was suffering from Parkinson's disease - was able to take to the stage for one final time at Villa Park in Birmingham, after she struck a deal with insurers. A source told the Sunday Mirror newspaper: "It is heartbreaking to think about the stress that Ozzy and Sharon went through in those last few weeks. Ozzy had worked his a** off to get himself to a place where he could at least stand up and wave to fans. But for shows of that magnitude, if the artists do not meet the insurers' satisfaction of risk liability then the show doesn't go ahead. "With the Parkinson's and the walking issues, no insurance agent would agree to let Oz stand. So to overcome that, and not have a huge insurance premium on the charity show, they secured a deal to have him safely locked in his throne. It was a brilliant compromise. "It really speaks so much to Sharon's drive and focus to get it all pulled off, because of the liability issues. She was a miracle worker." Meanwhile, Ozzy's autobiography is set to be released in October. The upcoming autobiography will explore the ups and downs of Ozzy's life, including the cheating scandal that almost ended his marriage in 2016.
