In a recent interview, Yungblud spoke candidly about his unique relationship with Ozzy Osbourne — a connection he describes as “like a brotherhood, or even father and son.” What started as a friendship with Kelly Osbourne eventually brought him closer to Sharon and Ozzy, sealing their bond when Ozzy gifted him a cross necklace. Yungblud later returned the gesture with a custom-made piece of jewelry from one of his friends.
The rocker also revealed the little-known story behind his performance of “Changes” at the “Back to the Beginning” tribute concert. Initially, many doubted whether he deserved to sing such a personal ballad for the Prince of Darkness. But Yungblud was determined, telling organizers: “Trust me — I’ll make the whole room fall silent.”
That performance proved transformative, moving Yungblud to tears in later shows as he honored his hero. Fans and critics alike hailed it as a symbolic moment — a passing of the torch from Ozzy to the new generation.
All proceeds from the official recording of “Changes” were donated to Parkinson’s charities, Birmingham Children’s Hospital, and Acorn Children’s Hospice, making the tribute not only heartfelt but deeply meaningful.
