Aerosmith and Yungblud are teasing an upcoming collaborative single, ‘My Only Angel’ – check out a snippet of the upcoming song below.
Earlier this month (September 7), Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler and Joe Perry joined forces with Yungblud to pay tribute to the late Ozzy Osbourne at the 2025 MTV VMAs. Following the performance, Aerosmith and Yungblud shared a curious clip on social media suggesting they had a “secret”.
In the clip, Yungblud and Steven Tyler are seen embracing, before Tyler gloats: “We got a secret and nobody knows it.”
Now, they’ve finally revealed that they’ve cooked up a single titled ‘My Only Angel’. While the track has yet to receive a release date, they’ve shared a snippet that’s sure to send chills down your spine.
“Will you cry / if I called you my angel / gotta leave, gotta leave, gotta leave you one more time,” they sing together. Yungblud then gives Tyler a quick kiss on the cheek before Tyler turns to him and says cheerily: “Nice! Fuckin’ a, shit. Hallelujah!”
The upcoming single will mark the first original tune that Aerosmith have worked on in over a decade – their last release was 2012’s ‘Music From Another Dimension!’. While the band have since retired from touring earlier than planned due to Tyler injuring his voice, Aerosmith have been rather coy about releasing new music. It is currently unknown of ‘My Only Angel’ will serve as a one-off single, or if will be part of a larger record from either act.
Yungblud’s team-up with Aerosmith at the MTV VMAs received praise from most viewers – except The Darkness’ Dan Hawkins, who called them “bellends”. Ariana Grande, however, was captured gawking in awe at their Ozzy tribute.
For the performance, Yungblud kicked things off with a cover of Ozzy’s ‘Crazy Train’ and Black Sabbath’s ‘Changes’, while Steven Tyler and Joe Perry joined him to close out the tribute with ‘Mama, I’m Coming Home’.
Yungblud was a part of the ‘Back To The Beginning’ Black Sabbath farewell show in Birmingham in July, an event that took on extra poignancy when Osbourne died less than three weeks later. Yungblud led a supergroup that also included Bettencourt, as well as II from Sleep Token and Adam Wakeman of Ozzy Osbourne’s solo band.
They performed the Sabbath ballad ‘Changes’, and after Osbourne’s death, Yungblud vowed to play the song at every show “for the rest of my life”, adding: “To sing this song for you at an event surrounded by legends inspired by you to a crowd who loved you was truly my life’s greatest honour.”
He later spoke to NME about the impact that Ozzy has had on his career. “Ozzy was a character in my life who was a reflection of everything I went through,” he said. “I was always a bit over the top. I was always seen to be a bit crazy. I was always seen to be a bit loud, but when some people saw that as a negative, Ozzy would provide me with the hope that there was an avenue for someone like me in the world.
“From such a young age, he really inspired me. Then, to know him as a friend towards the end, to know his heart, and to know Sharon Osbourne… I really started to understand that they did things their way. It’s always been inspirational because, for me, the biggest enemy to any artist or anything is the phrase, ‘This is just how it’s done’. That’s a cop out. ‘This is how it’s done’ was once an innovative idea that got stale.
Yungblud also broke down in tears during a performance of ‘Changes’ in the US recently, while Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler described one of his shows as the “best” he’d seen in years.
