Yungblud will lead a tribute to Ozzy Osbourne at the MTV VMAs

Yungblud will lead a tribute to Ozzy Osbourne at the MTV VMAs this weekend.

The 28-year-old singer will team up with Aerosmith's Steven Tyler and Joe Perry, and Extreme's Nuno Bettencourt to honour the late Black Sabbath legend - who died in July aged 76 - with a medley of songs at the ceremony in New York on Sunday (07.09.25).

The Zombie hitmaker marked the announcement by sharing a photo of himself and Ozzy on his Instagram account.

He wrote: "They’ve asked me to pay tribute to you at the @vmas on Sunday night. I’ll try my best to do you proud Oz. Tune in from up there. I love you forever. [bat emojis] (sic)"

Yungblud recently vowed to spend the rest of his life honouring Ozzy Osbourne.

He told The Sunday Times Culture magazine: “He taught me self-belief and so I’m going to take his spirit and make sure everybody knows for the rest of my life who Ozzy Osbourne was — he meant everything to me.”

Yungblud - whose real name is Dominic Harrison - was stunned when he heard Ozzy had died, just two weeks after he had been part of the rocker's farewell show in his native Birmingham.

He said: “Ozzy was effervescent.

“I told a friend that I thought Ozzy had another five albums in him. I didn’t think he was going to sing live any more, but that day he was so full of life and being hilarious, laughing that laugh of his. And then he did the show and then he died. It’s so overwhelming.”
