Yungblud to release Idols album in June
Yungblud is set to release his new album in June.
The 27-year-old music star has announced plans to release 'Idols', his fourth studio album, on June 20, and the 12-track record has been described as Yungblud's most ambitious album to date.
The singer - whose real name is Dominic Harrison - said: "I wanted to make a project that didn't focus on singles or anything else except feeling and world-building … A project with no limitations."
Yungblud actually produced the new album a few miles from where he grew up in Leeds, in northern England, because he wanted to minimise distractions during the recording process.
The album explores a variety of themes, including hero-worship and seeking validation.
Yungblud - who released his debut album, '21st Century Liability', back in 2018 - said: "We turn to others for an identity before turning to ourselves. Self-belief, self-reclamation, self-evolution and change. As we grow up, we lose our belief in magic and mystery. We begin to rationalise everything; our cage walls build up.
"We compare ourselves to 15 different people before we've even had our breakfast."
Asked to describe his new record, Yungblud replied: "A love letter to self-reclamation … to rock music … [and] to life; in all it's f****** madness."
The upcoming album will feature 'Lovesick Lullaby', the single that Yungblud released in April.
'Idols' will actually be the first part of a double album, with the release date of part two yet to be confirmed.
Meanwhile, Yungblud previously admitted that he relishes the experience of touring with new music.
The singer - who worked as an actor before his music career took off - actually enjoys the challenge of having a jam-packed touring schedule.
Speaking to The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column, Yungblud explained: "People moan about being in a band but we f****** love it. We love travelling, playing rock 'n' roll shows, partying. We're lucky and we won't forget that. We've got the best fans.
"I believe we put on the best rock 'n' roll show, under 30, on the planet right now. We'll have a nervous breakdown when we're 30. But it's just great at the minute."

A source said: 'Harry and Ella had fun together at Glastonbury and shared a kiss on the dance floor. 'They had a good time in the moment but it doesn't mean it will evolve into anything. They just got on and had a snog. 'But she seems like a normal, down-to-earth girl which is different from some of the big stars he's dated before.' Ella is a producer in London. Picture: LinkedIn Bournemouth University graduate Ella has been working as a producer at a studio in London for almost three years. An onlooker previously said of the pair's kiss: 'Harry only had eyes for this woman and sparks were flying as soon as they were together. 'Harry turned up with a few of his mates but as soon as she got there, they were almost inseparable. 'She kissed him on the cheek three times before he took her hand and led her to the dancefloor. 'Just short of an hour after they arrived, they kissed in front of loads of other people and didn't seem to care who was watching. 'They both looked like they were having a brilliant time and appeared to have known each other for a while, as they were very familiar.' Styles has had a string of high-profile girlfriends.

Don't miss out on the headlines from Hook Ups & Break Ups. Followed categories will be added to My News. Holly Valance has been seen for the first time without her wedding ring following the news of her split from property tycoon Nick Candy.

Picture: BACKGRID The Aussie star was noticeably without her wedding rings. Picture: BACKGRID MORE: Who gets what in Holly, ex split It comes after it was revealed that Holly and Nick, 52, are divorcing after 13 years of marriage. Friends told The Sun that the couple had quietly separated in recent weeks. A family friend said: 'This has been a very difficult period for both Nick and Holly, and they are keeping things private out of respect for their family. 'The joint parenting of their two amazing daughters remains their top priority. 'They've had to juggle a demanding lifestyle. Between family, public life, and Nick's intense work commitments, it's been a tough balance.' Valance and Nick Candy married in 2012. Picture: Ricky Vigil/GC Images The couple – prominent figures in right-wing political circles – were last seen together in March during a lunch outing in London. Holly rose to fame in the early 2000s playing Felicity 'Flick' Scully in the Australian soap Neighbours, before launching a pop career. Valance played 'Flick' on Neighbours. She's seen here with British and Irish Lions stars Scott Murray and Jeromey Davidson. Her 2002 debut album Footprints produced several hits, including chart-topper Kiss Kiss. But she was sued by her former manager and forced to hand out a £200,000 ($415,000, not adjusted for inflation) pay out. Broke, she moved to Los Angeles where she continued her acting career, starring in US TV show Prison Break and appearing alongside Liam Neeson in Taken. Valance had chart-topping success with her song Kiss, Kiss. Nick, a billionaire property developer, co-founded the luxury real estate business Candy & Candy with his brother Christian in the early 1990s. Their developments include the ultra-exclusive One Hyde Park in London, valued at over $1 billion. The couple married in 2012 in a lavish £3 million ($6 million) ceremony in California attended by 300 guests, including music mogul Simon Cowell. In recent years, Holly and Nick have emerged as vocal supporters of Reform UK. Nick left the Conservative Party last year and was appointed Reform's treasurer in December, pledging to raise tens of millions for leader Nigel Farage — including donating a seven-figure sum himself. Following 13 years of marriage, the pair are going their separate ways. Picture: Neil Mockford/GC Images Holly has also been a visible presence in political circles. She visited Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in 2022 alongside Farage and her husband attended Boris Johnson's wedding celebration in 2021. She is credited with encouraging Farage's return to frontline politics. X SUBSCRIBER ONLY Speaking last year about her political shift, Holly said she 'started off as a leftie'. 'Everyone starts off as a leftie and then wakes up at some point after making money, working, trying to run a business, trying to buy a home, then realises what crap ideas they all are,' she said. A spokesperson for the couple said: 'This is a private matter and we will not be making any further comment.'

Details emerge amid Aussie star's shock split from billionaire husband
Former singer and Neighbours actress Holly Valance and Reform UK treasurer Nick Candy have reportedly split and are heading for divorce after 13 years of marriage. Australian-born Valance, 42, and billionaire property developer Candy, 52, are said to have broken up in recent weeks, according to The Sun. The couple, who have two daughters, met in 2009 and became engaged two years later before marrying in California in 2012 at a ceremony attended by 300 guests. 'This has been a very difficult period for both Nick and Holly, and they are keeping things private out of respect for their family,' a family friend told the newspaper. 'The joint parenting of their two amazing daughters remains their top priority. 'They've had to juggle a demanding lifestyle. Between family, public life, and Nick's intense work commitments, it's been a tough balance. 'This is a family matter and they're doing their best to handle things thoughtfully. 'Privacy is obviously very important to them both, so they can focus on what's best for the family.' A spokesman for Valance said there would be no comment on the matter. 'The privacy of all parties involved is respectfully requested.' The couple are high-profile figures within Reform UK, and met Donald Trump with party leader Nigel Farage at the US president's Mar-a-Lago resort in 2022. After her stint in the Australian soap Neighbours where she played Felicity 'Flick' Scully from 1999, Valance had a music career, including the UK number one hit single Kiss Kiss released in 2002. She also reached the semi-finals of Strictly Come Dancing in 2011.
