Yungblud took home his first-ever Grammy Award on Sunday, earning Best Rock Performance for his live rendition of Black Sabbath’s “Changes” at the “Back to the Beginning” concert. He shared the honor with Nuno Bettencourt, Frank Bello, Adam Wakeman, and Sleep Token’s II, who backed him up at the performance.
Yungblud brought Sharon Osbourne onstage with him during the Grammys’ Premiere Ceremony, and dedicated the award to the late Ozzy Osbourne:
“You do not expect to be up here and then you fucking are, so it’s wild. To grow up loving an idol that helps you figure out your identity—not only as a musician but also as a man—is something that I’m truly grateful for.
But then to get to know them and form a relationship with them, honor them at their final show, and receive this because of it, is something that I and I think we’re all finding so strange to comprehend. We fucking love you, Ozzy.
We would all like to thank Sharon, Jack, Kelly, and Amy for this opportunity. Everyone at the “Back to the Beginning” show, the whole band with me right now, where six generations of rock musicians came together in the name of our genre, in the name of Sabbath, and in the name of Ozzy Osbourne.
I want to thank my team and, on behalf of everyone, all their teams. I deeply love this genre; it’s all I’ve ever known. We want to dedicate this—and I want to dedicate this—to everyone in the guitar shop that I grew up in, and everyone in a guitar shop or a bedroom with a dream. Rock music’s fucking coming back. Watch out pop music, we’re gonna fucking get you.
The last time I saw Ozzy Osbourne, you asked me if there was anything you could do for me. I answered that the music was enough, and I can safely say on behalf of all of us that still stands now and it will do forever. You’ll be with me every time I’m nervous and on stage at every show. God bless rock music and God bless fucking Ozzy Osbourne.”
