Yungblud Changes performance earned the singer a Grammy nomination, even though he barely remembers it. The 28-year-old performed the Black Sabbath classic at Ozzy Osbourne’s farewell concert at Villa Park in Birmingham this July. The intensity overwhelmed him, and he entered what he described as a “transformative state.”
Dominic Harrison, known professionally as Yungblud, said performing the song felt deeply personal. He explained that he had never performed a song for only one person before. The raw energy created an unforgettable experience, even if his memory remains fuzzy.
The performance marked a turning point in Yungblud’s career. He added that audiences began noticing him differently after that night. Watching the footage back, he admitted that even he could not understand his own intensity.
This year, Yungblud’s live rendition became the only performance nominated in the Best Rock Performance category. He celebrated the nomination as a fitting tribute to Ozzy Osbourne, who passed away weeks later. Yungblud said showing his love for the Black Sabbath legend on stage made the recognition even more meaningful.
At the time of the performance, Yungblud did not anticipate its impact. Leaving the stage, he felt like he had stepped into a movie scene. He believed sharing his love of Sabbath with the audience created a genuine connection. Fans could relate to his passion, which made the moment feel authentic.
Yungblud emphasized that the Changes performance represented a unique experience that cannot be replicated. Unlike a studio recording with multiple takes, this live performance existed only in that moment. He described it as “a moment in time” that will always remain singular, and he found its fleeting nature beautiful.
The Grammy nomination not only honours Yungblud’s talent but also celebrates his emotional tribute to a music icon. He hopes the performance continues to inspire fans and encourage other artists to embrace raw, live expression.
