YUNGBLUD has just unveiled a new collab with none other than The Smashing Pumpkins, thus continuing his string of collaborations with rock ‘n’ roll legends. To kick off the new year, YUNGBLUD, aka Dominic Harrison, teamed up with Billy Corgan and crew to reimagine his IDOLS hit, “Zombie.”
YUNGBLUD says, “Siamese Dream was an album that was there for me more than I could ever explain when I was growing so to be making music with the band that created it is really quite hard to comprehend. Billy has always been such a massive inspiration to me but more recently a huge mentor of mine. His outlook on the importance of truth in art is something that I’ve always held close to my heart.”
He adds, “’Zombie’ is the most important song of IDOLS to me. It’s deeply personal and it was heavily influenced by The Smashing Pumpkins’ ability to mix emotion, cinema and heavy guitars. I sent Billy an email, asking if he would re-imagine this song with me and when he agreed to it, it was a dream come true. To watch one of my idols work on something that I had written was one of the greatest honours of my life. I love that this new version of ‘Zombie’ is heavier, it has Billy Corgan’s iconic guitar sound, it has more urgency and it rips my heart out. I’m so proud of it.”
YUNGBLUD is set to continue his Idols World Tour in 2026, hitting up venues in Australia, the UK, Ireland, and North America. Check out his run below and find tickets here.
