At the Video Music Awards (VMAs) 2025, Yungblud once again impressed with a passionate tribute to Ozzy Osbourne, and this time too, he wasn’t alone on stage. He performed the medley alongside Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler, guitarist Joe Perry from the same band, Nuno Bettencourt, and Adam Wakeman from Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne's solo band. Excerpts from the songs “Crazy Train”, “Changes”, and “Mama, I’m Coming Home” were included. An emotional moment in many respects.
Yungblud is currently in the spotlight as a “torchbearer” for rock legend Ozzy Osbourne himself. The rising rock star already appeared at Black Sabbath’s farewell concert “Back To The Beginning” with a heartfelt cover of “Changes”.
Meanwhile, Steven Tyler impressed with a powerful vocal performance that is earning him a lot of respect from fans, as the singer suffered a vocal cord injury in 2023 and has since largely withdrawn from singing activities. He too had already returned to the stage in the summer at “Back To The Beginning” – fully in the spirit of rock ’n’ roll!
