The rocker ordained to step into Ozzy Osborne's shoes
Over Ozzy Osbourne's long career, he has met and performed with a slew of musical artists. But none had quite the bond with him as 27-year-old English rocker Yungblud, who the Black Sabbath frontman's family have said is extremely similar to the icon. Yungblud, birth name Dominic Harrison, took to Instagram in the early hours of Wednesday to voice his feelings on the Prince of Darkness' passing. 'I didn't think you would leave so soon … the last time we met you were so full of life and your laugh filled up the room,' the 27-year-old began his tribute post, which has earnt more than a million likes. 'But as it is written with legends, they seem to know the things we don't. 'I will never forget you — you will be in every single note I sing and with me every single time I walk on stage … your cross around my neck is the most precious thing I own. 'You asked me once if there was anything you could do for me and as I said then and as I will say now: for all of us, the music was enough. 'You took us on your adventure — the adventure that started it all. 'I am truly heartbroken. You were the greatest of all time.' Yungblud ended the post by sharing two photos of him with the heavy metal icon. Yungblud's close relationship with the Crazy Train singer and his family dates back to 2022. They first crossed paths on the set of Yungblud's Funerals music video, which Ozzy and his wife Sharon cameoed in. Yungblud told Billboard that he had initially asked Osbourne's daughter Kelly to star in it, but she instead suggested her parents to the Doncaster rocker. 'I was like, 'Whattttt?!' but yeah, then I met Ozzy and Sharon and it was absolutely amazing and they were in it.' Yungblud and Ozzy Osbourne met for the first time on the set of Yungblud's music video for song Funeral. Credit: Supplied In the video, Ozzy and Sharon run over the musician in a car before the War Pigs singer quips: 'What the f*** was that?' 'Just some f***ing poser,' Sharon replied, before Ozzy tells her to 'run him over again'. In a 2022 cover interview with NME shortly after the video's release, Yungblud raved about getting to meet the Paranoid singer. 'He's so intelligent and so f***ing beautiful. People fear him until they hear him speak,' he told the magazine. '(Ozzy) said that he saw a lot of himself in me and told me, 'Never apologize for anything. They will understand you later. Time always tells'.' The singer later starred on the former reality family's podcast The Osbournes in October 2024, with clips going viral of Sharon and Kelly shocked at the singer's similarities to Ozzy. 'I can't believe it … Ozzy's the exact same,' Sharon told her daughter after learning both singers have a penchant for eating pasta before shows, watching war movies in their free time and getting drunk on planes. Even Dominic was shocked to learn how similar he was to his idol, gasping at Sharon's revelation before asking: 'Really?' Their similarities reached a new level when Yungblud performed a cover of Black Sabbath's 1972 song Changes at Osbourne's last show that exploded online, garnering 2.7 million views on TikTok — with many fans calling the singer the heir to the Prince of Darkness' throne. The 27-year-old released the cover on streaming services on Sunday, with all proceeds going to Cure Parkinson's, the disease Osbourne was diagnosed with in 2019. Yungblud shared a touching video from the show of him backstage with Osbourne giving him a gift — the final moment fans would get to see of the duo interacting. 'I made you something … obviously you gave me your cross and I wanted to return the favour, so I made you this,' the singer said, handing over a wooden box to the 76-year-old. 'That is f***ing unbelievable – Sharon have you seen it?' the Prince of Darkness said shocked, inspecting the sterling silver cross necklace inside. Yungblud added: 'I never took off mine that you gave me, so I wanted to return the favour.' Yungblud said that the wooden box also had a custom inscription on it for Osbourne: 'To Oz, I hope this brings you luck, love Dom.' 'You gave me an outlet – everyone thought I was too f***ing mad and I was like, 'Nah, I'm like Ozzy',' the singer praised the metal superstar, a kindness that Ozzy was sure to return. 'You've got a number #1 album, don't you? Good on you mate – conquer America next, conquer America and then the world,' Osbourne encouraged the performer. Now that the Prince of Darkness is gone, only time will tell if Yungblud will step into Ozzy's shoes and carry on his legacy in the alternative music sphere — and if he will end up following the icon's advice to conquer the world like he did.
