After Jimmy Kimmel celebrated his comeback with the TV show Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the next big star guest followed right away: this time, Yungblud performed his single “Zombie” from the current album Idols.
Yungblud had already spoken about the meaning of the song before, saying it was:
“initially about my grandmother going through serious injury and trauma, leading her to become a different person to who she was before. It’s about the feeling of deterioration and ugliness; shutting out the world and the people we love out of the fear of becoming a burden or an embarrassment.
We all want someone or something to comfort us no matter how we are right now or who we become in the future. But it’s fucking scary.”
