Yungblud led an all-star tribute performance to the late Prince Of Darkness Ozzy Osbourne at the MTV Video Music Awards last night (September 07).
Taking to the stage at New York’s UBS Arena, he was joined by Aerosmith's Steven Tyler and Joe Perry and Extreme's Nuno Bettencourt on a medley of Ozzy classics ‘Crazy Train’, ‘Changes’ and ‘Mama I’m Coming Home’.
Watch the full performance below:
Yungblud had previously performed ‘Changes’ with Nuno during the incredible Back To The Beginning show in Birmingham earlier this year, later releasing a live version of the track for charity.
On that performance, he recently told Rock Sound “I can’t believe that they asked me to sing a song like ‘Changes’ either. They could have got me out to try and get the crowd rocking. They know I know how to do that. But putting me on the microphone with a piano in front of 70,000 people and front of Ozzy is something else entirely. A way to say thank you. I feel like it is the most relevant Sabbath song to my life at the minute, especially alongside the art and the album that I’ve just put out. And to be able to look at that motherfucker and say, ‘Thank you for every turning point in my life’, the only way I could do that is by going out and singing that song for him.”
