Yungblud has tearfully revealed the real emotional impact that Ozzy Osbourne's 'overwhelming' death has had on him. The singer says the late star 'meant everything to him' and he's struggling with his absence.
Ozzy died at the age of 76 on July 22, 2025 as a result of acute myocardial infarction and an out of hospital cardiac arrest. Yungblud, whose real name is Dominic Harrison, had a special relationship with the Black Sabbath singer and performed at his last concert just weeks before his death.
The music pair first crossed paths back in 2022 and Yungblud gave a reading at the funeral which took place in Birmingham. He has now said that he has found the loss 'overwhelming' after being told the news as he was recording new music of his own.
He spoke to The Times where he explained that he didn't expect Ozzy to die this young. Yungblud said: 'I told a friend that I thought Ozzy had another five albums in him. And then he did the show and then he died. It's so overwhelming.'
The 28-year-old tried to hold back his tears as he added: 'I just love him and right till the very end he supported me. I get emotional, because I've loved him since I was about two. He taught me self-belief and so I'm going to take his spirit and make sure everybody knows for the rest of my life who Ozzy Osbourne was - he meant everything to me.'
