Now, in a new social media post following Ozzy’s private funeral, Yungblud has shared a photo of the necklace which Ozzy gave to him back in 2022.
Ozzy gave him the cross necklace in 2022 whilst he was recording a music video for his track, The Funeral.
The pair enjoyed a close bond often likened to father and son with Yungblud going onto return the favour by gifting Ozzy his own custom-made cross necklace backstage at his final ever gig in Villa Park, Birmingham.
Clearly a symbol of their bond, Yungblud has now shared a close-up image of the pendant alongside a heartfelt caption.

He wrote: “Goodnight oz. your light will forever shine. I love you.”
It is understood that Yungblud gave a touching reading at his private funeral on Thursday.
Ozzy was laid to rest next to the lake in his Buckinghamshire home.
A wreath, which read: “Ozzy f***ing Osbourne,” was placed by the bank of the water as 110 of Ozzy’s nearest and dearest joined his wife Sharon and his children Jack, 39, Kelly, 40, Aimee, 41, and Louis, 50, who is Ozzy’s son from his first marriage to Thelma Riley, for the service.
A family friend told The Sun that Ozzy and Sharon’s home was decorated with pictures of the Black Sabbath rocker – and that they had planned to give mourners a photograph of him to take home with them.
They added: “Ozzy’s service was a beautiful tribute. As well as tears, there was laughter.”
The road leading to Ozzy and Sharon’s home, close to Gerrards Cross, was closed from 1pm.
Guests were sent a simple black invitation with a picture of a cross that read: “In loving memory of Ozzy Osbourne.”
Mourners were transported from The Crowne Plaza and The Bull in Gerrards Cross to the house at 2pm, with the service starting at 3pm.
Security teams were also in place to ensure the safety of those attending.
A friend told The Sun: “There was a stage where people including Yungblud, who grew very close to Ozzy in recent years, were set to pay tribute to him.
“The day was incredibly emotional. Pictures of Ozzy were dotted throughout the house and a photograph of him was given to everyone who attended to take home with them.”
