Yungblud has officially ticked off a massive career milestone, bagging his first-ever Grammy for ‘Best Rock Performance’. 

The 28-year-old took out the win for his heavy-hitting cover of Ozzy Osbourne’s ‘Changes’, from the ‘Back to the Beginning’ concert in Birmingham last year. 

He brought the legendary Sharon Osbourne up on stage to share the moment while he accepted the gramophone.

Getting up there to represent the genre we all love, he didn't hold back on how much the Prince of Darkness means to him.

"To grow up loving an idol who helps you figure out your identity not only as a musician but also as a man is something that I'm truly grateful for," he told the crowd.

He went on to talk about the "strange" reality of forming a real-life bond with his hero before eventually honoring him at his final show.

"The last time I saw Ozzy Osbourne, he asked me if there was anything he could do for me, and that the 'music was enough'," he added.

It’s a massive win for a bloke who lives and breathes the culture, and he capped off the speech the only way you really can: "God bless Ozzy Osbourne and god bless f*****g rock music!".

He was also nominated for Best Rock Song and Best Rock Album, but couldn’t take the cake in those categories. 

We reckon Ozzy would be pretty proud of that one.
