Yungblud goes shirtless while unwinding in a trucker cap during beach holiday as rocker celebrates his 28th birthday - after paying tribute to Ozzy Osbourne
In one photo, the English rocker, whose real name is Dominic Harrison, sported a Chrome Hearts camouflage trucker cap emblazoned with the words 'Chrome Hearts f**k Hollywood', as he appeared to relax on a boat out at sea.
In another snap posted to his Instagram Story, the singer posed shirtless in just a pair of black swimming shorts, drink in hand, as he let his hair down on the beach.
He captioned the birthday post: 'Made it through 27. thank f**k. here's to 28. love you all. i will forever.'
The birthday snaps come after Yungblud shared a picture of the gift Ozzy Osbourne gave him before he died, hours after he gave a reading at the funeral at his home in Buckinghamshire.
The singer had a very strong relationship with Ozzy, whom he first met in 2022, and it appeared that their relationship grew into an almost father-son type bond.
Yungblud reportedly gave a touching reading at The Black Sabbath frontman's funeral last week, after his death aged 76 on July 22.
Following the emotional day, the 28-year-old took to Instagram to share a close-up snap of the cross necklace Ozzy gifted him in 2022, during the filming of his The Funeral music video.
Yungblud later returned the favour by gifting Ozzy a custom-made cross necklace before Black Sabbath's final show at Villa Park in Birmingham.
He wrote in the caption: 'goodnight oz. your light will forever shine. I love you,' with fans noting in the caption that Ozzy has 'passed the torch of darkness on' to Yungblud.
Yungblud previously revealed that the gift from Ozzy is the 'most precious thing' as he paid a 'truly heartbroken' tribute to the rocker.
The singer performed Changes at Black Sabbath's final concert and has vowed to play it in Ozzy's memory going forward.
Rock legend Ozzy was buried in the grounds of his own mansion in Buckinghamshire - as he had said he desired.
His widow, Sharon, 72, and their children were joined by heavy rock royalty at the event at the family's home near Gerrards Cross, where he was being laid to rest near a lake at the heart of the sprawling 250-acre estate.
Marilyn Manson led the stars arriving at Ozzy 's private funeral as the heavy metal icon was laid to rest.
Following the funeral, Marilyn took to Instagram as he penned: 'Today we laid to rest a beloved friend. I am eternally grateful that you let me into your life Ozzy.
'Your inspiration and love will always be with me. Thank you Sharon and family for a reverent, beautiful ceremony. Your legacy lives on.'
Guests also included Manson's wife, Lindsay Usich and Ozzy's lead guitarist, Zakk Wylde.
And in true Ozzy fashion, stars arrived in gothic and heavy metal attire, with Rob Zombie donning skulls on a black scarf while Manson wore a long black jacket.
A huge floral tribute in the grounds of the mansion spells out an affectionate tribute to the heavy metal legend, with the words, 'OZZY F***ING OSBOURNE', on the banks of the Osbourne lake.

Gemma Atkinson 'very proud' as Gorka Marquez shares major Strictly announcement
Gemma Atkinson has rallied behind Gorka Marquez as he made a significant announcement about his future on Strictly Come Dancing. The professional dancer was earlier this year confirmed to be making a comeback to the BBC One dance competition as part of the pro line-up. Alongside Gorka, it was revealed that Dianne Buswell, Nadiya Bychkova, Amy Dowden, Karen Hauer, Katya Jones, Neil Jones, Nikita Kuzmin and Luba Mushtuk will once again grace the dance floor.

Frankie Bridge looks radiant as she jets off to the Maldives on a family holiday to celebrate husband Wayne's 45th birthday
Frankie Bridge looked radiant as she jetted off to the Maldives on a family holiday to celebrate her husband Wayne's 45th birthday. The former Saturdays singer, 36, took to Instagram on Thursday to share an array of snaps from her luxurious trip to beach resort Siyam World Maldives. Frankie is currently away on a family getaway with her husband Wayne, 45, and their sons Parker, 11, and Carter, nine. The family were joined by Wayne's friend, football coach husband Luke Hampton, who was also celebrating his birthday, and Frankie's pal Leah Meredith - who is CBO of her brand Faves. Frankie looked incredible in a family photo with Wayne and their sons, as she donned a sheer red and blue floral chiffon maxi dress. The trip had been to celebrate Wayne and Luke's birthdays, with Frankie sharing a cake which read: 'Happy Birthday Daddies.' Among the snaps shared by Frankie included a delicious-looking tiered breakfast stand consisting of fruit, waffles, pastries and eggs - which was served in the pool in a floating basket. 'Celebrating @waynebridge03 & @lukehampton79,' Frankie captioned the snaps. It comes after Frankie flashed her abs in a skimpy butter yellow bikini as she posed for sizzling Instagram snaps in the Maldives on Tuesday. She looked out of this world in the stunning Capala Honey bikini, which is priced at £92. Frankie confidently showcased her toned figure as she posed against the picturesque backdrop. Frankie accessorised her beachwear ensemble with a £28 Orelia fish charm cord necklace and chunky aviator sunglasses. She captioned her gorgeous post: 'Chasing the sun.' Wayne also has son Jayden, 18, with his ex Vanessa Perroncel. Earlier this year, Frankie revealed that she doesn't want her husband Wayne to ever get a vasectomy. She said that she wouldn't want the former footballer, 45, to get the procedure in case they don't end up together and he decides he wants kids with a future partner. Frankie told The Sun: 'I'll be honest, I don't want him to have one. You just never know what's going to happen. 'Having a vasectomy is a door shut for me, it's also a door shut for him. You know, we might not end up together and he might want another baby. 'Or something might happen to me, and he might still want another child, because men can do it for as long as they want.' Frankie added that she decided a while ago she doesn't want a third child as she suffered with severe sickness (Hyperemesis gravidarum). She explained that after two kids she was ready to get her life and her body back and when the conversation about a third child came about the gap between her youngest and a new baby would be too big. Frankie and Wayne wed in 2014 at Woburn Abbey in Bedfordshire surrounded by their celebrity pals. The singer rose to fame alongside Rochelle Humes, Una Healy, Mollie King and Vanessa White in The Saturdays in 2007. The band was formed after they were chosen from thousands of hopefuls on the television series S Club Search to appear as a support act for the pop band.

I joined Gregg Wallace's safe space for men over 50. It's lonely in there
The news that Gregg Wallace's health website was offering a chatroom for men over 50 was too tempting to ignore. I am a man and I am over 50. Perhaps the acolytes of the former MasterChef presenter massing in the chatroom could offer me a safe space to share my feelings or provide much-needed empathy in a world that doesn't value masculinity any more? Or at least some health and lifestyle tips. All for £11.99 a month. 'The Clubhouse' didn't quite work out like that. The accompanying image on the website promised conviviality and, er, pints of lager. After five days of looking in on the guys who might want to hook up in The Clubhouse ('Real talk, real support – hosted by Gregg Wallace. Fitness, food, lifestyle and laughs'), the only other name registered as being present that I noted was Gregg Wallace. That's not exactly a recipe for epic banter. Wallace has been very busy on social media promoting his latest business ventures, having exited the hit show following upheld complaints of inappropriate sexualised language and actions. But rather than take stock with a spell away from the limelight, the 60-year-old has decided to push his new range of health and fitness services at full throttle, such as the offer of one-to-one personal training with the man himself for £200 a month and membership of his GW Healthy Fifty website ( – which includes access to The Clubhouse chatroom. Other than a quiet Clubhouse, GW Healthy Fifty boasts 500 healthy recipes, daily and weekly courses of frozen ready meals for sale ('Gregg's favourites'), advice from a range of nutrition and health experts, a curated range of eBooks, fitness videos and access to a Facebook group with 1,800 members. The homepage proudly announces: 'It's a Circle, Not a Ladder, This isn't about ticking boxes or reaching the 'next level.' It's about creating a circle that supports you.' With little prospect of mainstream media work Wallace has turned his focus to middle-age health. Usually seen on social media wearing his trademark black vest, he drops in advice gleaned from his own experiences. 'I made a decision when all this started to really try to look after myself physically,' he says. 'I exercise better than I ever did before. I've got better nutrition than I ever did before. I don't know what I would have done without that. Possibly hit the bottle. But here I am in possibly the best physical condition I've ever been.' I found one video of him saying, 'I've got an easy and instant tip for improving your health. Move around more.' That's advice worth £200 of anyone's money. 'It is easy to laugh at him doing pull-ups with his top off but this rebrand might still be calculated in a way,' explains Lauren Beeching, a crisis PR expert. 'He probably doesn't care how unpolished this looks because if that gives people a reason to talk about him it might help him stay in the public eye. 'It's a reputational strategy that's quite raw and unfiltered and looks like he hasn't been advised, but perhaps he's hoping because he thinks he can reach his fanbase directly and they will want to meet him. He's possibly using this to push a business that he fully owns, now he's lost his TV contracts.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Gregg Wallace MBE (@greggawallace) Wallace fills his Instagram account with cooking videos including such gems as a pitta pizza recipe explained to a soundtrack of Christopher Cross's mellow yacht rock hit Sailing. Another sees Gregg sitting in a garden saying, 'I just want to demonstrate how easy it is to eat well. You see that? Ryvita with ricotta with basil ripped up in it, parma ham out of packet and sliced tomatoes … delicious right?' Mmmm. Yummy. The Ryvita incident gets to the heart of the matter. Who is this all for (other than Wallace, obviously)? The website appears to have a few presentational challenges that need to be ironed out. As well as some dodgy punctuation, and an inconsistent use of capital letters, there are broader messaging problems. For example, a blog entitled 'Using Alcohol as a Stress Buster: Why It Backfires' is used to promote an over-50s section headed with a picture of five mates holding pints of lager while shooting the breeze in a pub. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Gregg Wallace MBE (@greggawallace) Ultimately, this feels like the website equivalent of those Christmas Wonderlands that promise an immersive festive experience but turn about to be fake snow in a car park and a donkey wearing a set of plastic antlers surrounded by a corrugated iron fence. The website's existential problem is that there is already health, wellbeing and weight loss content online with the collective gravitational pull of a supermassive black hole. Everything available on this website can be accessed for free elsewhere. And in more bad news for Wallace, the availability of weight-loss injections makes this an even more precipitous time to build a new career based on health for the over-50s. As he revealed in The Telegraph, after his morning routine – including popping into the Harvester for breakfast with his PA – the former presenter goes home at midday to find lunch 'ready on the table' made by his wife. His current wife, Anne-Marie Sterpini, is his fourth, and she does much of the presenting on the website's recipe section. Since Wallace has publicly stated he can't cook, who exactly is he trying to teach now? He would probably say he's trying to teach men like him, but since he has placed so much emphasis on his wife's cooking, it feels a little contradictory. Does he want middle-aged men to cook or not, and do they have to be divorced and living alone in a one-bedroom flat to qualify? If they have a wife, surely she'll be doing the heavy lifting which he insists is his preference. The fatal flaw of this project is that men over 50 don't sit around thinking, 'I wish I could meet a load of other disaffected losers my own age'. This is not what most men over 50 want at all, More often than not, we just want to be left alone. 'Even if he's putting out stuff that people are laughing at, that is still a kind of relevance,' says Beeching. 'When clients are in his situation, their brains don't work properly because of the stress. They feel like they need to defend themselves or just get a message out there. They become erratic and what he's doing feels erratic. It just doesn't look like anyone is giving him any advice. It's unusual to see a TV person look so unpolished.' As for The Clubhouse, it's hard to have confidence that the matey vibe it projects will ever be an accurate reflection of the engagement it's supposed to facilitate. Whenever I dropped into this cyber kitchen-diner extension – where I imagined him to be sitting at his virtual granite island with some strong black coffee and more Ryvita – he was alone. That's an awkward silence even an overweight man in his 50s would want to avoid.
