He released three songs from the album in late May ‘Hello Heaven, Hello’, ‘Lovesick Lullaby’, and ‘Zombie’, which debuted with a music video starring well-known English actress Florence Pugh. ‘Zombie’ has now climbed to his number one most popular song on Spotify. ‘Idols’ will consist of twelve tracks, including songs ‘The Greatest Parade’, ‘Monday Murder’, ‘Ghosts’, ‘Fire’, and ‘Supermoon’. The album is set to explore themes of the concept of self-belief and the power of change.

The rockstar is known for his high-energy performances and a willingness to address important social issues and personal struggles with mental health and identity through his lyrics. Through these lyrics, he often touches on challenges that the younger generation faces.

Yungblud released his debut album back in 2018, titled ‘21st Century Liability’, followed by his second album ‘weird!’ in 2020, which reached number one on the UK Album Charts. He later released his self-titled album ‘YUNGBLUD’ in 2022. The singer also covered the famous song ‘I Was Made For Lovin’ You’ by the rock band Kiss, which was featured in last year’s film The Fall Guy starring Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt.

While promoting his upcoming album ‘Idols’, Yungblud performed for BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge. He sang a cover of well-known The Verve’s ‘Bitter Sweet Symphony’, a classic song and inspiration for his new album. In addition to honoring The Verve, Yungblud also performed his latest single ‘Zombie’ on the radio show. The singer has expressed many different influences throughout his career, including famous artists such as The Clash, The Beatles, David Bowie, Bob Dylan, Nirvana, The Cure, and The Sex Pistols. 

Yungblud has also announced his ‘Idols’ World Tour ahead of the release, starting in August in North America, performing in Los Angeles, Denver, Dallas, New York, and Boston. He will also be stopping in Toronto, Canada, before heading to Europe with shows in Amsterdam, Paris, Madrid, Munich, Warsaw, and Vienna.

He will be continuing his tour in April 2026 in Ireland and the UK, ending in London and Manchester.  All tour tickets are out now and can be found here. 

The track dropped 30 May, marking the latest release of Yungblud’s upcoming album ‘Idols’. The video stars Florence Pugh as a healthcare worker pushed to her limits, overwhelmed by her workload despite keeping a brave face as she helps her patients. Yungblud says that the track is about battling self-esteem and body-confidence issues, inspired by his grandmother’s experiences dealing with a serious injury.

He shares in a statement: “The song was written initially about my grandmother going through serious injury and trauma, leading her to become a different person to who she was before.

“It’s about the feeling of deterioration and ugliness; shutting out the world and the people we love out of the fear of becoming a burden or an embarrassment.

“We all want someone or something to comfort us no matter how we are right now or who we become in the future. But it’s f*cking scary.”

Pugh shares her admiration for Yungblud in an Instagram post, telling her fans: “I believe in everything @yungblud stands for and am absolutely inspired by how he uses his art and his voice. Being a part of his music video for ‘Zombie’ feels surreal to me.”

She adds: “I haven’t known him for long but I’m just so proud of this beautiful British talent. Thank you for having me on your journey and thank you for making this love letter to nurses all around. What a privilege it is to make epic things, with epic people for great reasons.”

In an interview with Rolling Stone, Yungblud reciprocates the sentiment, expressing his respect for Pugh, and how he’d always envisioned her taking the lead role in the video: “Florence Pugh, in my opinion, is one of the most exciting British artists in a long time. I think she has this individuality that is not adherent to anyone else. She is completely legit and individual within her own style in her own time.”

He adds: “The song is so deep, so emotional, but so fundamentally British. I was like mind blown watching her on set. And she’s just a legend. You can tell, man. She’s just sat in a pub on a Sunday with a pint of Guinness, just talking sh*t.”

The rock musician is no stranger to a pub. In April, to celebrate the release of ‘Lovesick Lullaby’, another track from ‘Idols’, Yungblud worked behind the bar at his favourite London pub, the Hawley Arms in Camden. He’d helped out behind the bar as far back as 2019. More recently, on 31 May, both he and Florence Pugh were spotted serving pints in a London pub to celebrate the release of ‘Zombie’, this time at The Devonshire in Piccadilly. The stars were seen trying their best to pour a perfect pint of Guinness, with Pugh receiving cheers from customers after a successful attempt.
