Yungblud relieved to have avoided 27 club after ‘messing around with everything’

Punk star Yungblud has admitted he breathed a great sigh of relief on his 28th birthday earlier this year as it meant he had avoided joining a host of his idols in staying forever 27

Rocker Yungblud is relieved he swerved joining the fatal 27 club during his darkest moments and celebrated with Aerosmith in honour of Ozzy Osbourne. The Doncaster lad, real name Dom, sparked fears when he turned up to the MTV VMAs on Sunday shirtless and a tad wild eyed.

However, Dom – who turned 28 this year – allayed any fears over his health and expressed his relief at not joining tragic stars like Amy Winehouse and Kurt Cobain who passed away at 27.

Dom said: “I made it through the 27 Club, thank f***!

“Hitting 27, I was like ‘alright I’ve messed around with everything now, I think I just wanna make rock forever, I mean maybe I won’t, whatever the f***. But I went back to my fundamentals from like a two-year-old to 13.”

The singer joined Areosmith’s Joe Perry and Steve Tyler for an Ozzy tribute medley of Crazy Train, Mama, I’m Coming Home and Changes, an anthem that has changed his life forever.

“I just feel indebted and I’ve gotta sing that song for the rest of my life, every night, forever,” he vowed.

Paying tribute to the Prince of Darkness by wearing a necklace he gave him, Dom said of his hero: “You gave me something, let alone you have me hope through my f****** life and as a fan and as a music fan but you literally gave me a magic wand when you let me do that.

“And then you left us, it’s just mad. I just love him, and I am grateful to that family and her and him, especially her (Sharon), as she’s just the f****** boss.”

Recalling the moment he heard of Ozzy’s passing, Dom shared: “I went to the Bahamas and I heard that he wasn’t well and so I texted him from the Bahamas, I was like ‘I hope you’re alright Oz’ and two days later I had 50 missed calls on my phone.

“I was like ‘what the f***’ and then he wasn’t here any more.”

Meanwhile, there wasn’t a dry eye in the house when Jack Osbourne and four of Ozzy’s grandkids paid tribute to the late rocker.

Flanked by Pearl Clementine, (13), Andy Rose, (10), Minnie Theodora (7), and Maple (3), Jack thanked MTV for celebrating his dad’s life: “I know for sure it would make him incredibly happy to see these great musicians carry on his legacy and help inspire the next generation of rockers. We love you, dad.”

The grandchildren added: “In the words of our papa, ‘Let’s go crazy!’”
