In a moving tribute that stunned fans and music critics alike, YUNGBLUD performed a heartfelt cover of Black Sabbath’s “Changes” at Ozzy Osbourne’s final Black Sabbath concert, paying homage to his lifelong idol. But the moment didn’t stop at the stage. YUNGBLUD released the performance as a charity single, with proceeds going to Cure Parkinson’s, Birmingham Children’s Hospital, and Acorns Children’s Hospice, creating a legacy of generosity alongside musical homage.

“When YUNGBLUD strummed ‘Changes’, every note felt like he was telling us that grief can be beautiful—and that legends live in our hearts forever,” a fan wrote. “Buying the song felt like giving back to all the little heroes who still fight.”

The tribute came at a deeply symbolic time, marking the end of Ozzy’s legendary touring career. YUNGBLUD, known for his punk-rock energy and emotional honesty, approached the song with reverence, capturing both the melancholy and hope embedded in the classic. His raw vocals and stripped-back arrangement highlighted the song’s timeless message of love, loss, and transformation.

The charity release underscores YUNGBLUD’s commitment to using his platform for impact. Fans immediately responded, praising not just the performance but the causes it supported. Social media was flooded with admiration:

• “This is why we stan YUNGBLUD. Heart, soul, and giving back all in one.”

By choosing charities like Cure Parkinson’s, Birmingham Children’s Hospital, and Acorns Children’s Hospice, YUNGBLUD aligned his tribute with meaningful support for health challenges that touch countless lives, creating a tangible legacy alongside his emotional performance.

Rumors swirled online asking if the Osbourne family had formally adopted YUNGBLUD after his close connection with Ozzy’s music and values. While there’s no official adoption, sources suggest that Ozzy and his family have embraced YUNGBLUD as a symbolic member of the Osbourne musical “family,” mentoring and encouraging him as he carries forward the rock legacy with respect and creativity.

For YUNGBLUD, the performance was personal. Having grown up idolizing Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath, he described the experience as “singing to someone who shaped your life—and knowing that the music you love never truly leaves you.”

Fans across the globe have called the cover “one of the most touching tributes ever”, noting that YUNGBLUD’s emotional vulnerability added layers of meaning to a song already steeped in sorrow and hope. Many said purchasing the single made them feel part of something larger—a community supporting children and families in need while celebrating a musical legend.
