OZZY OSBOURNE To Appear In YUNGBLUD's 'The Funeral' Video

Ozzy, Sharon and Kelly Osbourne will apparently appear in the new video from British singer Yungblud.

The track, “The Funeral”, will be released this Friday (March 11), and marks the 24-year-old’s first new music since last year’s “Fleabag” single.

In an Instagram post on Wednesday (March 9), Yungblud shared behind-the-scenes footage from the making of the video in which he was seen posing for the camera with a heavily made-up Ozzy, as well as hugging Sharon.

Ozzy and Sharon’s daughter Kelly does not appear in the Instagram clip but was tagged in Yungblud’s caption “Bringin some mates to my funeral…”

Yungblud, otherwise known as Dominic Harrison, began teasing the new single last Saturday (March 5), when he shared an image of a handwritten message “To whom this may concern. For those I let down I’m sorry, for those who let me down, fuck you but I forgive you. You are cordially and graciously invited to my funeral.”

As an artist and songwriter, Yungblud lives to stir up the raw energy of rebellion. With his frenetic take on alt-pop equally inspired by punk, hip-hop, and U.K. garage, Yungblud makes brilliant use of his breakneck flow and tongue-in-cheek attitude, delivering pointed lyrics without ever getting heavy-handed.

Born in Yorkshire, Harrison first picked up a guitar at age two and began writing his own songs when he was ten. At 16 he moved to London, then spent the next few years struggling to define his musical vision. But after reconnecting with the firebrand artists that first compelled him to make music — THE CLASH, ARCTIC MONKEYS, N.W.A. — he felt unstoppably inspired. That inspiration lead to the eventual release of his 2017 debut, “King Charles”.

Since then, Yungblud has created his own blend of alternative rock: poetry, guitar-hooks and break-beats with a fierce determination to make a dent in pop-culture. Startlingly bold yet emotionally grounded, he drops a grenade on listeners and imprints himself in their minds.

SEPULTURA's ANDREAS KISSER Says Brazil Has 'The Worst President Ever': He Is 'Worse Than TRUMP'

In a new interview with Vinny Cecolini of The Aquarian Weekly, SEPULTURA guitarist Andreas Kisser discussed the divisive political climate in his home country of Brazil. He said: “Historically, Brazilian politics is a mess. We’ve been through two presidential impeachments during the last few decades, which is crazy. It doesn’t matter if the politician is right, left, or dead in the center, it is chaotic. We have the worst president ever. I dare say our president was worse than [former U.S. president Donald] Trump was. The politicians have no respect for anyone other than their small group.

“[Admittedly,] Brazil is a difficult place,” he continued. “It’s a big country. Geographically from north to south, there are so many different cultures. We also have a large immigrant population, which introduced Asian and European cultures. But our current president, Jair Bolsonaro, talks with stupidity about things from the past we thought we were finished with. There is no respect for the different races, the homosexuals, and the environment. Agriculture is one of the most important [parts] of our economy and the [variety] of toxic chemicals used is insane. Many of these chemicals have been banned in other countries, but not here. It’s sad that we continue to step backward because of the political climate.”

Current polls in Brazil suggest Bolsonaro will lose October’s election to his leftwing rival, the former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, after alienating many voters with his anti-scientific handling of a COVID-19 pandemic, which has killed more than 650,000 Brazilians.

Like former Trump, Bolsonaro has tried to sow election doubts to pave the way for him not to accept defeat in 2022.

Bolsonaro, who has been accused of corruption, said in a meeting with evangelical leaders that he had “three alternatives for my future: being arrested, killed or victory” in the next election — and he said prison was not an option.

SEPULTURA comprises Kisser, vocalist Derrick Green, bassist Paulo Xisto Pinto Jr., and drummer Eloy Casagrande.

SEPULTURA’s “North American Quadra” 2022 tour with SACRED REICH and CROWBAR kicked off on March 4 in Sacramento and will make stops in Toronto, Cleveland, and New York before concluding on April 8 in Berkeley, California.
