Yungblud -returns with an acoustic version of his Best Rock Song GRAMMY® nominated hit “Zombie.”

Internationally acclaimed GRAMMY® nominated rock star Yungblud returns with an acoustic version of his Best Rock Song GRAMMY® nominated hit “Zombie.” The heart-wrenching ballad is widely regarded as one of his most profound releases to date, written for his late grandmother who died from alcoholism and showcasing a striking new depth in his songwriting. The new version of the track is accompanied by an intimate music video.

Speaking about the track, Yungblud explained, “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.” 

The original version was accompanied by a powerful music video—described as a “love letter to nurses around the world,” and starring Academy Award-nominated Florence Pugh – Watch HERE.

The new release follows a whirlwind year for the British rock star, who has been nominated across all three rock categories at the 68th annual GRAMMY® Awards, taking place in Los Angeles on February 1, 2026. He earned nominations for Best Rock Album for IDOLS (Capitol Records), Best Rock Song for the powerful ballad “Zombie,” and Best Rock Performance for his moving cover of Black Sabbath’s “Changes.”

Continuing a year defined by standout moments, Yungblud also delivered a powerful tribute to his idol and friend Ozzy Osbourne at the MTV Video Music Awards, performing alongside Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, and Nuno Bettencourt in a moment that celebrated the enduring legacy of one of rock’s most influential figures [WATCH HERE].
