After posting a beautiful initial tribute, YUNGBLUD has taken to social media to reflect on this week’s devastating loss of Ozzy Osbourne.

The musician – real name Dominic Harrison – admits he’s been “absolutely fucking shattered” since the news of The Prince Of Darkness’ passing on July 22, and says he’s going to try his “best and make it my life’s journey to keep the sprit that you started and what you have taught me alive”. Dom also adds that, following his incredible cover of Changes at Back To The Beginning earlier in the month, he’ll “play this song every night for the rest of my life”.

Read Dom’s full tribute to Ozzy below:

“I’m trying to compute the last couple days and honestly I’m absolutely fucking shattered.

“You have been my North Star for everything for as long as I can remember from when I was misunderstood as a child to the way people thought I was just a little ‘too much’ or ‘strange’ in my life and career.

“I owe so much to you, your wife and your family – you all gave me a road to run down and supported me when people would turn their nose up.

“You loved life so much and you adored music. It was your smile man. You taught me it was beautiful to be out of the box.

“I promise you with all my heart I will try my best and make it my life’s journey to keep the sprit that you started and what you have taught me alive. I will give it my best shot.

“To sing this song for you at an event surrounded by legends inspired by you to a crowd that loved you was truly my life’s greatest honour and I vow to play this song every night for the rest of my life.

“You’re my hero in every regard. I hope you’re up there avin a drink with Randy.

“For the prince of darkness you sure brought all the light to the world. I love you Ozzy.”

Very well said, Dom. Kerrang! sends our condolences to Ozzy’s family and friends at this time.
