Yungblud’s magnificent cover of Black Sabbath’s ‘Changes’ at the historic Back to the Beginning concert earlier this month is getting an official release. Performing as part of Supergroup A at Villa Park on Saturday 5th July, Yungblud was flanked by guitarist Nuno Bettencourt, bassist Frank Bello, drummer II (of Sleep Token) and keyboardist Adam Wakeman for the goosebump-inducing performance. Yungblud dedicated ‘Changes’ to late Liverpool player Diogo Jota, and the rousing rendition of Black Sabbath’s 1972 ballad is widely cited as one of the zeniths of the star-studded concert. The Doncaster singer – real name Dominic Harrison – has now announced that ‘Changes’ will be released as a single and on streaming services this Friday (18th July). Just like the Back to the Beginning concert, proceeds from the track will go to the charities Cure Parkinson’s, Birmingham Children’s Hospital, and Acorn’s Children’s Hospice👇👇👉
