Yungblud has shared an official version of his cover of Black Sabbath’s ‘Changes’ from Villa Park, with all proceeds going to charity.

The singer performed the song at Ozzy Osbourne’s final live performance – Back to the Beginning – earlier this month.

The huge stadium gig saw Yungblud form one of multiple supergroups on the night, covering ‘Changes’ alongside Nuno Bettencourt, ii from Sleep Token, Frank Bello and Adam Wakeman).

“This was hands down the biggest moment of my entire life,” Yungblud said. “I got to stand on stage and honour one of my heroes, and the fact that it has touched so many is truly overwhelming.”

He added: “The best part about this release is that we can take such a monumental moment, immortalise it on tape, release it and donate all the money to such important causes in Cure Parkinson’s, Birmingham Children’s Hospital, and Acorns Children’s Hospice. This is what Rock and roll is about. Stream it, buy it, add it to your playlist – let’s raise some f*cking money.”

Listen to the track below.

Reviewing Back to the Beginning, Rolling Stone UK said: “Though confined to his chair, Ozzy writhes and wriggles like a man summoning every last inch of the hellraising spirit still in him as he bows out with ‘Iron Man’ and ‘Paranoid’. “Go fucking crazy it’s the last song”, he says before the latter and boy do the masses oblige.

“For all the false farewells and goodbyes in his career, there’s something so final about this one that adds a crushing poignancy to the night.”
