Yungblud, the 28-year-old British rocker (real name Dominic Harrison), is making headlines again for his rebellious stage antics. A recent clip showed him shirtless, smoking a cigarette, kissing a fan on the cheek, and handing her the lit cigarette during a concert—a move hailed as the “most rock and roll thing in 30 years” by fans.

Controversy and Praise Collide
While the moment fueled admiration for his bold persona, fans admitted mixed feelings. Social media buzzed with comments like:

• “He’s the greatest student of rockstar energy… too bad about the music.”
• “Could be the biggest rockstar if his songs weren’t unlistenable.”
• “So cool, but fix the music!”

Ozzy Osbourne Tribute Backlash
Yungblud’s tribute to the late Ozzy Osbourne at the MTV VMAs also stirred debate. Teaming up with Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler and Joe Perry, he performed in honor of the Black Sabbath legend, whom he considered a mentor. However, critics like The Darkness’ Justin Hawkins dismissed it as “inauthentic,” accusing Yungblud of exploiting Ozzy’s legacy.

Clapping Back at Critics
On Jack Osbourne’s podcast Trying Not To Die, Yungblud and Jack fired back at detractors. Defending his VMAs performance, Yungblud said, “They’re bitter and jealous… We honored a legend.” Jack, Ozzy’s son, added, “They don’t know how much Dom meant to my dad.”

Yungblud emphasized that “real rock stars” like Ozzy or Metallica’s James Hetfield wouldn’t belittle others: “Rock is dictated by the people—and the people loved it.” Despite the noise, he remains focused on keeping Ozzy’s legacy alive, declaring, “We got his face in front of 100 million people that night.”

Final Word
Love him or hate him, Yungblud’s rockstar theatrics are undeniable. Whether his music will ever win over critics remains to be seen, but for now, he’s content pushing boundaries—one cigarette kiss at a time.
