Yungblud says filming new documentary was ‘roller coaster of emotions'
He told the PA news agency: 'The film is going to be insane. It's completely out of control, I don't know how the hell they're going to edit it but there was a roller coaster of emotions so it was pretty raw.'
Idols was released in June 2025 and the singer, whose real name is Dominic Harrison, said the album is not just about paying homage to his music heroes.
'I called the album Idols, because it's actually the first time that I've turned away from them,' he said.
'I've always looked to other people for an answer. I've always looked to the picture on the wall.
'I wrote a record about looking at picture on a wall, wanting to become a picture on the wall, becoming a picture on the wall, and realising it didn't f****** mean anything.'
He added: 'I think I've spent a long time paying homage to my heroes, which I always will do, but it's time for me to challenge myself, to try and f****** reach as high as I can, try my best and push my musicians, and push my band, and push my team.'
'I can honestly say, since probably (debut studio album) 21st Century Liability, I wrote this album for myself, and I f****** believe in magic, man, it made me believe in magic again. It's like, it's just completely pure, and it's just been amazing,' he said.
The 27-year-old recorded in the same studio used by David Bowie for Heroes and U2 for Achtung Baby!.
'Berlin has been through so much, been the most liberal place in Europe, but then also experienced the most pain,' he said about the German city.
With sequences shot in 16mm, the two-hour long documentary will show the live session being recorded while also giving behind-the-scenes insights that depict the relationship between Yungblud and his band.
Yungblud. Are You Ready, Boy? will screen in 30 countries across the globe, including in 150 UK cinemas on August 20 and 24.

Ozzy Osbourne put Birmingham on the map and never forgot his roots, says mayor
The Black Sabbath star, nicknamed the Prince of Darkness, died at the age of 76 on Tuesday. Mr Iqbal met the founding members of the heavy metal band – formed in the city in 1968 – when they were presented with the freedom of Birmingham in June. He told the PA news agency: 'He (Osbourne) was very important and he was a proud Brummie. He loved the city. He will be much missed, I think, and he was loved by so many people in the city. 'I think he put Birmingham, and especially Aston, on the world map. He's done so much for the city and we honoured him with the freedom of the city as well, which we were grateful that he came (to) and received about six weeks ago.' Terence 'Geezer' Butler, Tony Iommi, Bill Ward and Osbourne were all recognised for their significance to the cultural and musical identity of Birmingham and as pioneers of heavy metal in the city and beyond. Mr Iqbal said: 'For me, personally, to meet him was the greatest honour for me… very humble guy, very down-to-earth guy. He spent, I think, a couple of hours in the council house just talking about Aston, Aston Villa Football Club, the people of Birmingham. Floral tributes are left by the Sabbath Wall on Navigation Street in Birmingham, following the death of Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne aged 76 (Jacob King/PA) 'We presented him with the scrolls and he spoke as well for a couple of minutes on that day, and the thing I love about him is that at the end of everything he said, he always said, 'Birmingham forever'. And he never forgot his roots, where he came from.' The lord mayor also said he spoke to fans queueing up to sign a book of condolences, which was opened by a Birmingham museum hosting an exhibition dedicated to Osbourne. 'It's already a long queue people. I'm sure over the weekend there'll be hundreds of more people coming to sign the book', he said. Speaking about plans to honour Osbourne, he added: 'Myself and the council will probably have a meeting around this subject and we will decide at a later date what we're going to be doing. 'I'm sure there's definitely going to be something, I'm not sure what that's going to be looking like at the moment but we will definitely do something.' Richard Parker, mayor of the West Midlands, said he was 'very, very thankful' that Black Sabbath were given the freedom of Birmingham and that their final concert at Villa Park happened when it did. Speaking at the Black Sabbath mural in the city on Wednesday, Mr Parker said: 'I was very fortunate to attend both events and I was just struck by the sense of goodwill and a sense of pride that he gave us all. 'I was just struck by how humble he and members of the band were and I just remember how much it meant to them. 'In retrospect, I think we're just very, very thankful that those two events happened when they did.' He added: 'The fact that (Osbourne) came down here and wanted to play their final gig here meant a lot, and there was hardly a conversation he had that didn't mention where he came from and how much this city meant to him.' Osbourne, who grew up in Aston, played a farewell gig at Villa Park on July 5 which saw him reunite with his Black Sabbath bandmates. Among the bands performing were Anthrax, Metallica and Guns N'Roses, and there were messages of thanks from other celebrities, including Jack Black, Ricky Gervais and Dolly Parton.

Ozzy Osbourne fans remember Birmingham star who was ‘a big part of our lives'
The heavy metal vocalist, who was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2019, died at the age of 76 on Tuesday morning surrounded by his family. Christine Turner, from the Hodge Hill area of Birmingham, wore her Aston Villa football shirt to pay tribute to Osbourne at the Black Sabbath mural in the city. Floral tributes are left by the Sabbath Wall on Navigation Street in Birmingham (Jacob King/PA) She said her father was a childhood friend of the rock star and they used to play football together in Lodge Road, where they grew up. She told the PA news agency: 'He has been a big part of our lives, my dad was childhood best mates with him, so I've come up to pay my respects.' When asked how she felt when she heard he had died, she said: 'Shocked. I think deep in our hearts we knew it was coming, but it was still a shock last night. 'I was supposed to have done the washing last night but it didn't get done after I found out at about quarter past seven. 'I was upset, tears were shed last night.' Floral tributes are left on the Black Sabbath Bridge bench on Broad Street in Birmingham (Jacob King/PA) Jimmy Smith, from Bristol, who was in the city to visit the Ozzy Osbourne exhibition at Birmingham Museum, stopped at the scene on Wednesday morning to pay his respects. He told PA: 'I did like Ozzy, I saw him a few times back in the day. It was quite sad yesterday (when he died), but with the concert at Villa Park a few weeks back, I had a feeling it was coming. It felt like his final bow. 'I was up here a few weeks ago for the Iron Maiden concert so I knew the mural was here, so I thought I would come and have a look, and I'll also go to the Black Sabbath bridge before going to the museum.' Two Black Sabbath fans from King's Norton jumped on a train to visit the mural of the band in Birmingham to pay their respects to Osbourne following his death. Megan and Mia, who did not want to give their surnames, said they wished they had been able to go to Osbourne's last show at Villa Park on July 5. Tributes left outside The Crown public house in Birmingham (Jacob King/PA) Megan said: 'It was really sad and heart-breaking (to hear he had died), I think I was expecting it to happen soon but not that quick.' When asked how it felt to visit the mural after Ozzy's death, Mia said: 'It's surreal but it's nice that people have put flowers out.' Mia added that she believed the next Aston Villa football game would be 'even more packed than usual' in Osbourne's memory. She said: 'I know there will be some form of respects paid to him at the game, definitely.' Osbourne played a final farewell concert in front of a home crowd at Villa Park earlier in the month. Black Sabbath were the last to appear on stage as part of a star-studded line-up for the Back To The Beginning concert that took place not far from the Crown pub where they played their first gig in 1968. Black Sabbath's first manager Jim Simpson views the floral tributes left on the Black Sabbath Bridge bench on Broad Street in Birmingham (Jacob King/PA) Also paying his respects was Black Sabbath's first manager, Jim Simpson, who spoke on Broad Street, where dozens of fans had gathered to pay tribute to the rock legend. When asked how he felt when he heard the news Osbourne had died, Mr Simpson said: 'Deep sadness, but no surprise, because it's been on the cards for quite a long time. 'He even said beforehand that he expected to die on the stage at the July the fifth show at Villa Park. The world's lost an inordinately nice, balanced, human being.' Referencing the amount of people who had turned up to pay tribute to Osbourne following his death, he said: 'The fact is, there are people here who are 80 years of age or eight years of age and all stages in between and it shows he had a remarkable way of contacting people. 'It has been 55 years and still (Black Sabbath) are more popular than ever. 'It is remarkable and they have all done a great job and they should be proud of themselves.' Black Sabbath, comprised of vocalist Osbourne, drummer Bill Ward, guitarist Tony Iommi, and bassist Terence 'Geezer' Butler, formed in 1968 and were credited with shaping the heavy metal genre. The group were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 2006 and Osbourne was added for a second time, as a solo artist, last year. In the noughties he featured in MTV series The Osbournes, which followed the lives of him, his wife Sharon and two of their children, Kelly and Jack.
