Yungblud brought his parents, Justin and Samantha Harrison, to the premiere. During the premiere, he reflected on working with award-winning director Dugdale, explaining that it has been “a crazy journey” getting to work with him and that “when I had this idea, my bucket list director was Paul [Dugdale] because I knew he’d tell the story with truth and authenticity,”.   

Yungblud felt honored, explaining that “This film had to be made. People need to see what it takes to make an album of this ambition. The whole point of going to Hansa Studios and this whole album was about relinquishing a pedestal, walking amongst giants, and seeing if you can do it. It’s also a story of friendship and love; you have to be willing to allow the uncomfortable and the scary to be shown to the world.”   In his trailer for the upcoming documentary, Yungblud discloses that he needs to “figure out who I am as an adult, as a man”. The singer also recently released a video on Instagram where he shares that his fans “are my biggest drive, this community they are my heartbeat, but it’s not within my control if they stay or they go”.

‘Vampire Bat’ was a collaboration with Dave Bayley, the lead singer of Glass Animals, and composer and producer Rob Bisel, known for his work with popular American singer-songwriter SZA. The Fresh Fruit Series includes tracks ‘Lost Control’ with Joey Bada$$, ‘Gold Lime’ and ‘Tokyo Drifting’ with Denzel Curry, and ‘I Don’t Wanna Talk (I Just Wanna Dance)’, with Albert Hammond Jr. This Fresh Fruit project has allowed space to push their comfort boundaries, with each release having a separate and unique sound. 

‘Vampire Bat’ explores the duality of fame and the struggle with balancing artistic desire and the spotlight that comes with their career. It highlights the conflict of enjoying and wanting success with the realities of being in the public eye. The song goes back and forth between the ideas of desire and love. 

Glass Animals have released a lyric music video for ‘Vampire Bat’, which visually mirrors their cover art of a fork stabbing a kiwi in a space-like background. The band had used this kiwi imagery while promoting the song before it’s release, referencing the Fresh Fruit Series. The song has a smooth, melancholy feel with a psychedelic flow to the sound, allowing for a close and personal listening experience for the audience. ‘Vampire Bat’ has bridged a gap between their earlier work and the hip-hop-influenced style from their popular album ‘Dreamland’ from 2020, which just turned five years old this past week.  

Glass Animals is currently on tour in support of their fourth studio album ‘I Love You So F***ing Much’. This world tour started last year in North America before heading to Europe and the UK last autumn, ending in London. The band extended the tour this year, coming back to North America all summer, starting in New York back in June, and is wrapping up this leg of the tour with shows in Idaho, Oregon, and Nevada this weekend, August 15-17.  

Friday’s notable acts include Wunderhorse, John Grant, The Joy, Wing, and Heartworms. Saturday’s artists include Boss Morris, Cmat, MJ Lenderman, and Perfume Genius. Sunday’s other notable acts are Yard Act, Cass McCombs, Hannah Frances, and High Contrast.

Labrinth is well known for his work on Euphoria; his music and soundtrack became a key element to the show, creating a unique atmosphere and distinctive emotional depth necessary for the story. His work has incorporated many genres, including gospel, electronica, orchestral music, and more, reflecting both the composer’s personal style and the show’s complexity.  

Labrinth’s score gave life to the show’s and character’s intense themes of teenage life, love, drugs, and trauma. His work on Euphoria earned him an Emmy for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics for the song ‘All For Us’. Labrinth also appeared in the show during season two, episode four, in a scene where the main character, Rue, has a hallucinatory moment in a church and he appears as a gospel singer performing his song ‘I’m Tired’, which Rue associates with her late father.   

Hans Zimmer, notably known for scoring films including Inception, The Dark Knight trilogy, Interstellar, Gladiator, and the most recent Dune movies, is joining the composition for Euphoria. Labrinth expressed his excitement for this collaboration on Twitter, saying “another chapter in the Euphoria universe! So great to join Hans, one of my heroes in film score, and bring some new magic to this new season. Love x.”.   

Sam Levinson, the show’s creator, expressed on Twitter that “it’s a true honor to be working alongside Hans. I wrote this season to the score of Interstellar and True Romance. So he’s been ingrained in the creative DNA since the beginning. I’m really proud of the work Labrinth and I have done in previous seasons and am excited for Hans to push us to new heights.”

Labrinth’s most well-known songs on the show include ‘All For Us’, ‘Still Don’t Know My Name’, ‘Mount Everest’, ‘I’m Tired’ with Zendaya, who plays Rue, ‘Formula’, and ‘Forever’.  

Over the years, Euphoria’s soundtrack has surpassed one billion streams worldwide, earned award recognition, a connection with a global audience, and a massive contribution to the show’s success, which was the second most watched show on HBO when it released back in 2019. 

The show itself had a massive hiatus and delay of three years due to strikes, the creator’s vision, cast members’ availability, and some not returning, as well as the unfortunate passing of one of their cast members, Angus Cloud, in 2023, who played the beloved character Fezco. There is no current release date for this third season; however, they have been in production since January.  

Rock singer Alice Cooper and his band dedicated their show that night to Ozzy, explaining on Instagram that “when the giants fall, it’s really hard to accept. Even though everybody saw it coming with Ozzy, it just took our breath away when it happened”, understanding that “the whole world is mourning Ozzy tonight”. 

English singer-songwriter, Elton John, told the world that Osbourne was “a dear friend and a huge trailblazer who secured his place in the pantheon of rock gods – a true legend”. The popular metal band, Metallica, remembers how much Ozzy helped and inspired their band by expressing how much of a “hero, icon, pioneer, inspiration, mentor, and, most of all, friend are a few that come to mind”. “He taught us how to play in the big leagues while at the same time being warm, welcoming, engaging, and all around brilliant.”

Yungblud had established a significant connection and mentorship with Osbourne. The young rockstar who is paving the way for a new generation of rock and roll performed an incredible cover of Black Sabbath’s song ‘Changes’ a few weeks ago at Ozzy Osbourne’s final show, Back To The Beginning. This cover is going towards charity to help cure Parkinson’s disease, which Osbourne had been suffering from, and the final concert raised over 150 million pounds. Yungblud gave Ozzy a matching gold cross chain after the Back To The Beginning concert. 

Yungblud has recently expressed on Instagram that he was the greatest of all time and that he “will never forget you – you will be in every single note I sing and with me every single time I walk on stage. Your cross around my neck is the most precious thing I own. You asked me once if there was anything you could do for me, and as I said then and as I will say now for all of us, the music was enough. You took us on your adventure – an adventure that started it all.”   

Other artists also payed tribute to Ozzy’s passing, including Coldplay covering the song ‘Changes’ and Lady Gaga playing ‘Crazy Train’ at the end of her concert. Public figures and actors including Adam Sandler, Jason Momoa, and Danny Trejo have all reflected on memories and the legendary Ozzy Osbourne.
