Yesterday,YUNGBLUD live-streamed episode 2 of ‘The YUNGBLUD Show’ to fans worldwide via YouTube – watch back here.
The 30-minute show took place at 3pm BST, and was watched live by over 50k fans, with #TheYUNGBLUDShow trending at #1 in the UK, Poland and Australia!
The episode featured YUNGBLUD alongside special guests Travis Barker, Kelly Osbourne, Ashnikko, 24kGoldn and Machine Gun Kelly. The show included amazing covers of Sublime’s ‘What I Got’ and the Rolling Stones’ classic ‘Wild Horses’. YUNGBLUD and Kelly Osbourne also teamed up for an ice bucket challenge in aid of youth homelessness charity Centrepoint, raising £5000. At the end of the episode, YUNGBLUD announced he’ll be releasing brand new single ‘Weird!’ on April 22nd!
Of the show, YUNGBLUD said “obviously it was a little difficult because we were working from home, but we gave it everything we got. The response from our incredible fanbase was overwhelming. I’m surprised every time from their countless support. Massive love to all the guests for jumping on the show.”
The first episode of the live streamed gig saw YUNGBLUD become the number one trend worldwide on Twitter and has had over 600k views. The 22-year-old artist created the YUNGBLUD Show in response to worldwide concert cancellations and the postponement of YUNGBLUD shows across 10 countries, due to precautions being taken to prevent the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19). After spending the past few months in the studio working on his new album, YUNGBLUD has been disappointed not to be able to connect with fans on tour this Spring, and so saw the live-streamed gig as a way to give back to fans who have been impacted and to help foster a sense of community, and that he did!
