YUNGBLUD, in our totally unbiased opinion, was one of the most iconic performers on the recent September 7 Video Music Awards show. The performer showed up and showed out in his trademark black leather pants and donned a black leather coat as he offered a tribute to Ozzy Osbourne. In fact, Jack Osbourne introduced the performance alongside his children. The singer also wore Ozzy’s iconic cross necklace, kissing it before taking center stage.
YUNGBLUD kicked off the performance with “Crazy Train,” which even included the iconic “All aboard!” He then elegantly switched modes into Black Sabbath‘s “Changes,” the same piece he performed at Ozzy’s final show, Back To The Beginning. Finally, YUNGBLUD and Aerosmith‘s Steven Tyler brought the house down with a thrilling rendition of “Mama, I’m Coming Home.”
“Ozzy forever, man,” YUNGBLUD chanted at the end of the performance. Check out the full tribute below, also featuring Joe Perry and Nuno Bettencourt.
YUNGBLUD is currently on his North American headline tour later this month before heading back to the UK and Europe. Check out his full tour schedule below and purchase tickets here.
