In February 2022, Sharon and ozzy Osbourne made a striking appearance in the music video for “the Funeral” by YUNGBLUD, which marked the start of an extraordinary friendship and mentorship that reached its peak with a memorable performance on July 5th.

The collaboration in that music video sparked a genuine interest from the Osbournes towards YUNGBLUD, whose real name is Dominic Harrison. Both Sharon and Ozzy have been instrumental in guiding him through his artistic journey, helping to shape his identity as a rockstar. They offered crucial advice on navigating the challenges associated with fame in the music industry. Their relationship grew so strong that Ozzy presented YUNGBLUD with one of his beloved necklaces, which Harrison later had recreated as a tribute during an event called Lend a Hand To The Beginning.

This bond likely stems from one notable reason: the Osbournes see reflections of young Ozzy within YUNGBLUD. This connection was particularly evident during an episode of The Osbournes podcast last summer when Sharon and Kelly asked questions to Harrison, who responded with enthusiasm reminiscent of young Ozzy’s vibrant spirit.

The significance of their relationship extends beyond just their time at Lend A Hand To The Beginning; it may have played a vital role in YUNGBLUD’s outstanding performance—he was not only performing for his mentor but also for someone he deeply respects as one of heavy metal’s pioneers.

This experience has inspired YUNGBLUD to commit to performing “Changes” at every concert throughout his career. He conveyed this heartfelt sentiment through an emotional post on Instagram where he shared:

I’ve been reflecting on everything over these past few days, and honestly, I’m completely overwhelmed.

You’ve been my guiding star throughout my journey since childhood when I felt misunderstood; you showed me it’s okay to be different.

I owe immense gratitude to you, your wife, and your family—you provided me direction when others turned away from me.

Your passion for life and love for music were infectious. Your smile taught me how critically important it is indeed to embrace who we are.

I promise wholeheartedly that I will strive tirelessly to keep alive the spirit you ignited within me; I will give it everything I’ve got.

The proceeds generated from streams and purchases related to “Changes” are being allocated towards charitable initiatives.
