Young Rock Star Leaves Fans in Tears with Powerful Tribute to Ozzy Osbourne: 'The Torch Has Been Passed' originally appeared on Parade.

Back to the Beginning has been one of the greatest celebrations the music world has ever seen. For those of you unaware, Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath gave their final performance this past weekend, as Osbourne is stepping away from the music world amidst increasing health struggles.

The celebration included loads of tribute acts, all coming out to support and show love to the Prince of Darkness. One performer, however, has been garnering a ton of attention, and that's Yungblud.

Yungblud has been steadily climbing to superstardom. With a sound that combines pop, rock, hip hop, metal, and punk, he has been a rock star adapted for this generation.

Recently, he has become pretty well known within the context of the Osbourne family, as he was taken in as one of their own after Ozzy and the rest of the family have been publicly bonding with the star.

It was clear he'd be at this tribute performance, but people were shocked at just how good he was with his performance of "Changes."

The performance rocked all in attendance, with emotions running high and tears flowing. Many commenters were shocked by the young star's talent, with many claiming that the torch has been passed.

"He did Ozzy proud today."

"I was at the concert, and this was the best performance of the day for me. Imagine 40.000 people singing back in unison. Was truly emotional."

"Ozzy passed the torch to him."

It's a beautiful moment. The music world is going to be a very different place without Ozzy Osbourne, but it's a comfort to know his legacy is safe with Yungblud. It's a lot of pressure to be seen as the successor to someone so revered, but I'm sure he's ready for the challenge.
