Yungblud wants to keep Ozzy Osbourne's "spirit" and "energy" alive.

The music icon passed away on July 22, aged 76, and Yungblud - who performed at Ozzy's final concert in Birmingham, England - has paid a heartfelt tribute to his "hero".

The 28-year-old star - whose real name is Dominic Harrison - told Sky News: "Ozzy is everything to me, always has been. And to be able to go on stage and honour my hero and sing that song to him, without knowing that they were his final days, was everything to me.

"I will try my best to keep that spirit and keep that energy alive. I love that guy. I got to know him personally at the end and I love that family. I've got nothing but love, always."

Yungblud previously admitted that he's "found solace in being similar" to Ozzy.

The singer is a long-time fan of the Black Sabbath frontman, and he paid a glowing tribute to Ozzy - who revealed in 2020 that he'd been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease - ahead of the band's farewell gig at Villa Park.

Yungblud told The Independent: "Since I can remember, Ozzy has always been a part of my life.

"I grew up around rock music, and he was a character to me before I even knew anything about him. I remember his hair, I remember his massive mouth, I remember his glasses from when I was three years old.

"If you know me and my family, we're truly f****** loud - they used to call us The Osbournes. So, I kind of found solace in being similar to them.

"Growing up watching The Osbournes and the madness, I was always like that. I was always out there and crazy. To see someone being so loved and accepted with all their madness … I really found solace in a figure like Ozzy."

Yungblud thinks they're actually very similar, despite their musical differences.

The 11 Minutes hitmaker said: "We're very similar.

"Even though we don't necessarily make the same kind of music, we kind of represent the same thing. Being out there and thinking outside the box is what we're both known for."
