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.

Rod Stewart's AI video shows Ozzy taking selfies with dead stars
Don't miss out on the headlines from Entertainment. Followed categories will be added to My News. Ozzy Osbourne fans are reeling after Rod Stewart screened a bizarre AI-generated video tribute to the Black Sabbath legend featuring the rocker taking selfies with dead superstars. The 'man made horror' unfolded on the big screens at his Atlanta concert over the weekend as Stewart launched into his performance of 'Forever Young'. The Young Turks singer has been dedicating the song to Osbourne at his shows since the rocker's death on July 22. The tribute is usually accompanied by a carousel of photos of the late rocker but at American shows last week, Stewart added the AI video of Osbourne, armed with a selfie stick, posing with deceased artists including Prince, Kurt Cobain, Tina Turner, Whitney Houston, Tupac, Aaliyah, Bob Marley, Freddie Mercury, Amy Winehouse and most inexplicably, rapper XXXTentacion. The smiling AI images of Osbourne and his heavenly mates were titled 'Eternal stars' and featured them floating on clouds. AI Ozzy with Freddie Mercury in the Stewart concert video.

Jack Osbourne shares story of 'picky eater' Ozzy Osbourne
Jack Osbourne has told how his dad Ozzy Osbourne was a "picky eater". The 39-year-old star has yet to publicly comment on the passing of the Black Sabbath frontman - who died last month aged 76 - but in an appearance on UK TV show Cooking with the Stars which aired on Sunday (03.08.25) but was filmed prior to the Paranoid rocker's passing, Jack spoke about mealtimes when he was young. He said: "I grew up on potato waffles until we moved to America. "We would get take out all the time — apart from times when we had a chef." Jack - who was 11 when the family left England for the US - joked Ozzy never kept any chef on staff for too long because he was a "picky eater". He added: "[He'd suddenly decide] 'No, I don't like it anymore,' even though it's some amazing chef." While Jack hasn't yet spoken about Ozzy's death, his ex-wife Lisa Stelly - the mother of his daughters Pearl, 13, Andie, 10, and seven-year-old Minnie - recently took to Instagram to share some photos of the rocker with his granddaughters over the years. She captioned her post: "The world got Ozzy. We got Papa. One of one. Larger than life. It hurts to say goodbye, but what a gift it was to have him. We will never stop missing you." Jack also has three-year-old daughter Maple with wife Aree Gearhart. His sister, Kelly Osbourne, recently broke her silence on Instagram, poignantly sharing the lyrics from Black Sabbath's song Changes, which she and her dad released a version of in 2003. She wrote: "I feel unhappy I am so sad. I lost the best friend I ever had [broken heart emoji]. (sic)" At Ozzy's public funeral procession last week, both Jack and Kelly shared subtle tributes to their dad. Kelly honoured Ozzy's distinct sense of style with a pair of round blue-tinted glasses and her brother wore a black Chrome Hearts tie with a silver cross embellishment in a nod to his dad's fondness for cross jewellery. And their sister Aimee Osbourne, who typically stays out of the spotlight, referenced Ozzy's notorious bat-biting incident from 1982 by wearing a brooch in the shape of the winged mammal. Their mother, Sharon Osbourne, leant over to place a pink rose down and what appeared to be Ozzy's wedding ring could be seen dangling from a long chain around her neck.
