Watch: Yungblud recruits Florence Pugh to star in 'Zombie' music video
May 30 (UPI) -- Thunderbolts actress Florence Pugh stars in Yungblud's music video for his new song "Zombie."
In the video, which arrived Friday, Pugh portrays a nurse who experiences the full breadth of human emotion while caring for various patients.
Pugh's character serves coffee, cries in the break room, talks to a woman undergoing chemo treatment and screams privately.
As the song continues, Pugh appears with angel wings.
Yungblud called the song "a love letter to nurses." The video struck a chord with healthcare workers who remarked on the song's resonance in the comments.
"Ugly crying by how beautiful this was," one commenter wrote.
"I'm so proud of you and what we made," Pugh wrote. "Well done babe."
The song will appear on Yungblud's album Idols, which will be released in two parts, with the first arriving June 20.
"Our most ambitious adventure yet," he wrote in a post promoting the album.
Part 1 will also include the previously released tracks "Hello Heaven, Hello" and "Lovesick Lullaby."
Tickets for his Idols tour, which kicks off in August, are on sale now.

Queen Elizabeth and Kate Middleton Both Broke This Royal Wedding Custom in Favor of a Beloved American Tradition
For her wedding, Queen Elizabeth made her sister, Princess Margaret, one of her bridesmaids, breaking with royal protocol that stated only children should be part of the wedding party. Decades later, Kate Middleton made the same decision, asking her sister, Pippa, to be her maid of honor. By doing so, both royals embraced the common American tradition of making close friends and family members part of your wedding Prince William and Kate Middleton adhered to a number of royal wedding traditions before, during, and after their nuptials on April 29, 2011, including issuing a formal engagement announcement, incorporating seasonal flowers, and having a midday ceremony followed by a luncheon, there was one custom that they decided to break. Typically, at such an occasion, only children are allowed to be in the wedding party, as they serve to represent joy and innocence on the big day. However, for her ceremony, Kate opted to forgo this approach, wanting to include her sister, Pippa, in her wedding party as her maid of honor. And it appears that the princess may not have been the only royal bride to do so. During Queen Elizabeth's royal wedding to Prince Philip she also elected to break with this time-honored tradition by including her sister, Princess Margaret, as a bridesmaid in her wedding party. While it's unclear what specific duties Margaret had on the day of the nuptials, it's evident that she supported her sister over the course of the day. After Elizabeth and Philip said "I do" at Westminster Abbey, they headed to the balcony of Buckingham Palace to greet members of the public. In her role both as a member of the royal family and as a bridesmaid, Margaret stood next to her sister as the newlyweds waved to eager onlookers. At Kate's nuptials in 2011, Pippa was a noticeable presence, helping manage the younger members of the wedding party—and assisting her older sister with her nine-foot train as she entered the church. However, even though the bride may embraced an American tradition by asking her sibling to be her maid of honor, she still honored other British customs, particularly when it came to the outfits of the bridal party. While it's considered a faux pas at American weddings to don anything in a white hue, the British royal custom is just the opposite, as the bridesmaids are expected to wear the neutral color. In her role, Pippa stayed true to the tradition, opting for an ivory satin-based crepe gown that was designed by Sarah Burton at Alexander McQueen. "Culturally speaking white is a symbol of purity, cleanliness, immaculacy and perfection, which is why it's the natural colour choice for bridal dresses, doctors' coats and seafarers," Gabi Winters, a color expert, told Hello!.

However, even though the custom stipulates that the bridesmaids should wear white gowns, some members of the British royal family have put a bit of a modern twist on it, opting to add a hint of color to the ensemble. For example, both Diana and Kate decided to add sashes with a hint of color to the dresses. Up Next: Is It Ever Acceptable to Wear White to a Wedding? Read the original article on Brides

Watch: 'Man in My Basement' teaser shows Willem Dafoe move in
1 of 5 | Willem Dafoe stars in the upcoming film "The Man in My Basement." File Photo by John Angelillo/UPI | License Photo June 5 (UPI) -- Hulu is previewing The Man in My Basement, starring Corey Hawkins and Willem Dafoe. The thriller film is based on the novel by Walter Mosley, who co-wrote the screenplay with director Nadia Latif. The trailer released Thursday begins with a loud knock at the door that awakens Charles Blakey (Hawkins). Anniston Bennet (Dafoe) stands on the doorstep of the home, located in 1994 Sag Harbor, New York. "I have it in mind to rent your basement for a couple months," Bennet says, emphasizing that he is "only interested in renting." "I'll pay you $1,000 a day for 65 days," he proposes. The money would enable Blakey to keep his home, which had been in his family a long time and was facing foreclosure. Bennet's arrival, however, brings "in a force much darker than" Blakey anticipated. "We're exploring mental health, trauma, exploitation, and yes, the nature of evil, but we're also dealing with legacy, lineage, home and love," Hawkins told Entertainment Weekly. "A script centered on blackness in middle-class Sag Harbor in the '90s is loaded with cultural significance." An official release date has not yet been shared.

Watch: Benson Boone performs, discusses 'American Heart' on 'Tonight'
June 5 (UPI) -- Benson Boone performed "Momma Song" and discussed his upcoming album American Heart on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon. The singer, 22, took to the stage in a brown leather jacket and sang about a profound love for his mother, along with a knowledge that moments with her would one day become memories he'd cherish. The track will appear on American Heart, due June 20. He told Fallon that his album title was inspired by his song "Young American Heart." "And to me that's like the inspiration track of the whole album, and it's about me and my best friend," he told Fallon. "...When we were younger, we got in a car accident, and it wasn't, like, a typical car accident. We were driving in a field. We were driving in his backyard and we flipped the car." He said he was either 15 or 16 when the wreck occurred, and it changed his perspective. "It was like the first time in my life that I was like, 'Oh my gosh, like, this dude, my best friend, he means everything to me. I don't want to die right now,'" Boone said. Boone also discussed his upcoming arena tour, which kicks off Aug. 22 in Minnesota and winds down Oct. 8 in Utah. "This is by far the biggest tour I've ever done, and it's a big moment for me, for people to just know who I am, you go to the show and this is, by far, the best performance I will ever, up to this point in my life, put on," he said. "And it's a full-on show. I might even change my outfit during the show."
