The rock star who had the most significant impact on his career, though, was Ozzy Osbourne. They immediately had a connection back in 2022 when Osbourne appeared in Yungblud’s music video for his song “The Funeral” and gifted Yungblud a cross necklace. During the pair’s final encounter, Osbourne “passed the torch” to Yungblud while telling him to “conquer America.” Recently, Yungblud has risen to this challenge by performing a memorable show at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards. Some people do not like the idea of Yungblud being called “the next Ozzy Osbourne” because no one can replace Osbourne himself. It is clear that he is one of the next big faces in rock music.
