Yungblud paid tribute to music legend Ozzy Osbourne during his Australian tour.

The UK rocker kicked off the year with a series of high-energy shows across the country, launching the six-date concert run on Jan. 10.

Aussie fans had the chance to see the “Parents” hitmaker up close as he toured in support of his fourth studio album, Idols, released in June 2025.

Yungblud fired up the massive crowd as he performed alongside Australian punk rock favorites Dune Rats.

Following his successful shows in Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide, the British singer-songwriter delivered an electrifying performance during his sold-out concert in Brisbane on Saturday.

Yungblud performs onstage during a concert at Palacio Vistalegre Arena on October 11, 2025 in Madrid.

In one memorable moment, Yungblud performed “Changes,” with the crowd singing along despite the pouring rain.

The 28-year-old shared the special moment on his Instagram stories.

“Ozzy came to see us tonight," he wrote, playfully nodding to the rainy weather.

The post also captured the attention of the music legend’s widow, Sharon Osbourne, who reposted it on her Instagram Story.

Yungblud has been vocal about his admiration for the “Prince of Darkness.” Their closeness developed into a strong bond, with Ozzy Osbourne serving as his mentor and friend.

During his guest appearance on Steve-O’s Wild Ride! podcast, he shared the advice he received from the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer.

“The most beautiful thing he ever said to me was, ‘Never compromise. They’ll get it later,'” he revealed.

Moreover, he also opened up about why he and the late musician connected easily.

“People find it hard to believe that I’m actually f-----g like this all the time,” he furthered, adding “And after kicking it with Sharon, she said he saw a little bit of himself in me, not because we made the same music [but] because we’re f-----g a bit nuts.”

With Ozzy Osbourne’s death, the “Abyss” joins fans and family in grieving the loss of the music icon.

In a special message, he expressed how “heartbroken” he was for the loss of a man he called “the greatest of all time.”

“I didn’t think you would leave so soon the last time we met you were so full of life and your laugh filled up the room. But as it is written with legends, they seem to know things that we don’t. I will never forget you - you will be in every single note I sing and with me every single time I walk on stage. Your cross around my neck is the most precious thing I own. You asked me once if there was anything you could do for me and as I said then and as I will say now for all of us the music was enough. You took us on your adventure - an adventure that started it all,” he said in an Instagram post.

Yungblud Brings High-Energy Shows to the UK and Ireland

Following the four-night show, Yungblud will continue his Australian tour with two more shows.

He is set to perform a second night in Brisbane on Sunday before closing out the tour on Tuesday in Perth.

Adding to his busy schedule, Yungblud will kick off a series of shows across the U.S., Canada and major cities in Europe, including in the United Kingdom and Ireland starting in April.
