Yungblud's lauded performance of Black Sabbath's Changes from Back To The Beginning has been released to streaming services.
The rising UK rocker made headlines when he played the 1972 Sabbath track at Ozzy Osbourne's retirement show at Villa Park on July 5.
Backed by a supergroup consisting of Portuguese-American guitarist Nuno Bettencourt, Anthrax bassist Frank Bello, Sleep Token drummer 'II' and Ozzy's keyboardist Adam Wakeman, the vocalist gave a performance that Metal Hammer writer Rich Hobson said 'set Villa Park alight' and made for 'the first truly epic sing-along of the day'.
Have a listen below.
Back To The Beginning wasn't the first time Yungblud (real name Dominic Richard Harrison) aligned himself with Ozzy. The Prince Of Darkness and his wife/manager Sharon appeared in the music video for the star's 2022 single The Funeral.
The video depicted the couple running over Yungblud in a car: when Ozzy asked, 'Who was that?', Sharon responded, 'Just some fucking poser.' Ozzy replied, 'Ah, run him over again, then.'
Yungblud released his fourth album, Idols, on June 20 via Locomotion and Capitol. In an interview with Louder's Dave Everley, the musician called his new release a statement of 'self-reclamation'.
'It's a concept album about relinquishing your idols and finding the answers to your own life,' he explained. 'You look at a photograph on a wall, you want to be that photograph. In my case, you end up as that photograph. But then you realise the photograph never had any answers, it's me who had the answers all the time.'
Yungblud is set to perform at Ilosaarirock festival in Joensuu, Finland, tonight (July 18). He'll play three Asian festivals in August, before kicking off a North American tour in Los Angeles on August 23. A European tour will start in Amsterdam on October 4.

Rod Stewart Shows A.I Images of Ozzy Osbourne In Heaven With Dead Music Icons During Concert Tribute

British singer-songwriter Sir Rod Stewart caused a stir at his concert on Aug. 1, when he projected A.I. images of the late Ozzy Osbourne posing next to deceased musicians in heaven. Ever since Osbourne's death on July 22, Stewart has been dedicating his hit song 'Forever Young' to the Black Sabbath frontman at shows along his 'One Last Time' tour. Conventionally, Stewart would sing the sentimental ballad with images of Osbourne projected behind him in an affectionate tribute.

While the song's accompanying images started as standard shots of Osbourne, they eventually evolved into A.I. generated visuals of the rocker posing with the likes of Prince, Tina Turner, Bob Marley, Freddie Mercury, Kurt Cobain, George Michael and Amy Winehouse, all standing on cloudy and celestial backdrops to suggest a heavenly afterlife. The show also featured A.I. videos of Osbourne next to late controversial figures such as Michael Jackson and XXXTentacion. According to Rolling Stone, at a show in Charlotte, N.C. a few days prior, Stewart ended the song, saying, 'Very sad. A lot of those people died 'cause of drugs… I'm still here, though!' Stewart's audience appeared understandably puzzled at the performance, with several of the concertgoers sharing their baffled reactions on social media. On the day of Osbourne's death, Stewart posted on Instagram, stating, 'Bye, bye Ozzy. I'll see you up there— later rather than sooner.' The singer is yet to make a statement regarding the controversial images, as his tour continues across the United States through early October and then heads to Europe.

Adam Carolla claims staff on 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' was 'real scared' of 'mean' host

Carolla recalled his experience from when he was a guest on the talk show in 2012. Adam Carolla is not a fan of Ellen DeGeneres. The comedian gave his account of being a guest on The Ellen DeGeneres Show back in 2012 on a recent episode of the After Party with Emily Jashinsky podcast. "When you do [Jay] Leno, Leno was fun and breezy and easy and people were nice, and they were kind of laid back, and they weren't looking over their shoulder at all," he said of the former host of The Tonight Show. He added that his own former cohost on The Man Show, Jimmy Kimmel, also had a set that was "nice and people are nice." He didn't say the same about DeGeneres, who came up when the host mentioned DeGeneres having relocated to the U.K. following the election of President Donald Trump last year. Carolla claims DeGeneres had "always been a mean person," which he said he'd realized during his time working with the staff on the popular series that ran from 2003 to 2022. "People were scared, real scared," he said. "And I knew they were scared, because I was just sitting in my dressing room and their segment producer came in and he went, 'All right, so we went over all the stuff we're going to talk about' — Christmas vacation or whatever it was." Even after Carolla assured him that he would stick to the pre-planned topics during his conversation with DeGeneres, the employee wasn't satisfied. "And he goes, 'You're not going to talk about meat or beef or anything like that, right?' And I go, 'No, I'm not. I'm just going to talk about the stuff we talked about,'" Carolla recalled. As Carolla told it, the conversation didn't end there. "He came back like 20 minutes later, right before I went out, and he's like, 'OK, but don't talk about beef or meat,'" Carolla said. "And I was like, 'Oh, this guy's scared to death. This guy's scared.'" Later on, Carolla said he learned from one of the show's writers — an employee he didn't identify, because he'd signed a non-disclosure agreement — his hunch had been right. The writer claimed that DeGeneres was the "worst person I've ever met." EW has reached out to reps for DeGeneres for claims follow the allegations of a toxic workplace that DeGeneres faced beginning in 2020. Former staffers said they had been told to avoid speaking to her or even looking her in the eyes and accused producers of racism and intimidation. DeGeneres herself addressed the outcry, including in September's Ellen DeGeneres: For Your Approval, which was billed as her final standup special. "I got kicked out of show business because I'm mean," DeGeneres said onstage. "Yeah, you all heard I was mean. Everybody heard that I was mean. Everywhere I go, I know everyone's heard that I'm mean. I know when I walk into a restaurant, people are watching, waiting to see if I'll be mean. 'Do you think she'll be mean first and then dance? Oh, look, she's reaching for butter. I thought she was going to hit somebody.'" Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly Solve the daily Crossword
