Yungblud releases live cover of Black Sabbath's Changes for charity
The star-studded metal gig at Birmingham's Villa Park on July 5 - which raised almost $200 million for charity - saw the 27-year-old rocker tip the hat to his hero, Ozzy Osbourne.
Now, fans can stream Changes - (Live from Villa Park) Back To The Beginning (Feat. Nuno Bettencourt, ii, Frank Bello, Adam Wakeman) and help raise funds for Cure Parkinson's, Birmingham Children's Hospital, and Acorns Children's Hospice.
Yungblud said: '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.'
He added: '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.'
Ozzy, 76 - who has a special bond with Yungblud and was overwhelmed to receive a custom crucifix chain from him backstage at the concert - praised the cover: 'He did an amazing job. I couldn't have done it better myself.'
What's more, Mercury Studios has announced that Back to the Beginning: Ozzy's Final Bow will receive a theatrical debut in early 2026. Currently in production, the film will celebrate the enduring legacy of Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne.
Sharon Osbourne was the mastermind behind the concert and Rage Against The Machine's Tom Morello directed proceedings.
As well as the War Pigs rockers, members of Metallica, Guns N' Roses, Slayer, Tool, Pantera, Lamb of God, Anthrax, Sleep Token and more took to the stage.
Aerosmith's Steven Tyler, Blink-182's Travis Barker and Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood also performed.

Ozzy filed to trademark Prince of Darkness before death
Ozzy Osbourne tried to trademark his Prince of Darkness nickname before he died. The 76-year-old rocker passed away at his home in England on July 22, just weeks after his final Black Sabbath gig. He filed documents to trademark his nickname on June 13. According to The Sun newspaper, his UK-based firm Monowise sent the application to the United States Patent and Trademark Office for "entertainment services, namely providing non-downloadable pre-recorded music via a website". The company also sought trademark protection to sell clothes, games and accessories. A ruling has yet to be made, although a similar claim was passed previously in the UK. Meanwhile, it has been revealed that tributes left for Ozzy in his home city of Birmingham are to be taken down and given to his family. Fans had flocked to the city to pay their respects to Ozzy as flowers, keepsake items and handwritten notes were left at Black Sabbath Bridge - a spot that marks the Paranoid band's formation. The council said that the tributes will be preserved at a secure location before being passed on to Ozzy's loved ones. Ozzy's family viewed the tributes during his funeral procession in the city and said they were "deeply moved" by the affection the public had for the Prince of Darkness - who had played his final gig with Black Sabbath at Birmingham's Villa Park stadium just 17 days prior to his death. A statement read: "We are deeply moved by the heartfelt tributes that have been placed at the Black Sabbath Bridge and at the Black Sabbath mural on Navigation Street in recent days. "These expressions of remembrance reflect the profound impact that Ozzy had on the city and its people, as well as fans from around the world - BIRMINGHAM FOREVER!" Lord Mayor of Birmingham Zafar Iqbal said: "We understand how important it is for the community to have a space to grieve and celebrate Ozzy's legacy. "We know fans will continue to pay their respects at the Black Sabbath Bridge and the mural on Navigation Street, as well as visiting the Ozzy exhibition."
