Globally celebrated rock innovator YUNGBLUD has officially earned nominations in all three rock categories at the 68th annual GRAMMY® Awards, taking place on February 1, 2026 in Los Angeles. The British artist is recognized for Best Rock Album with his latest project IDOLS (Capitol Records), Best Rock Song for the emotionally charged “Zombie,” and Best Rock Performance for his striking rendition of Black Sabbath’s “Changes.”
These nominations crown what has already been a landmark year for YUNGBLUD. A few month ago, he delivered a powerful tribute to his mentor and close friend Ozzy Osbourne at the MTV Video Music Awards — a performance that quickly became one of the ceremony’s most talked-about moments.
The momentum continues as YUNGBLUD prepares to release “One More Time,” a collaborative EP created with rock icons Aerosmith, arriving November 21. Its first single, “My Only Angel,” recently debuted on Billboard’s Hot Hard Rock Songs chart and is now available on all streaming platforms, accompanied by an official visual.
Earlier in the year, YUNGBLUD unveiled his fourth studio album IDOLS, released on Locomotion/Capitol Records. The record includes standouts such as the sprawling, nine-minute opener “Hello Heaven, Hello” and the deeply personal “Zombie,” a tribute to his late grandmother’s battle with alcoholism. The music video — described as a heartfelt homage to nurses worldwide — features Academy Award nominee Florence Pugh in a moving lead role.
Adding to this exceptional year, YUNGBLUD also celebrated the U.K. and European release of his critically acclaimed feature documentary, “YUNGBLUD. Are You Ready, Boy?,” directed by EMMY® and BAFTA-winning filmmaker Paul Dugdale. North American release details are expected soon.
In just a matter of months, YUNGBLUD has swept through the industry with unstoppable momentum, collecting awards, critical acclaim, and career-defining moments along the way. With his fearless creativity and raw emotional honesty, he has now firmly established himself as one of the emblematic figures of the new generation of rock — a voice reshaping the genre and leaving a mark that can’t be ignored.
