He’s long been known for his rock n’roll persona.
And in honour of his 28th birthday, Yungblud has shown that his wild image began to manifest itself from a young age with a hilarious throwback post.
The hitmaker took to Instagram to share a fun snap of himself during his childhood, as he enjoyed his birthday with a sunny getaway.
The image showed Yungblud, whose real name is Dominic Harrison, sporting a pirate headdress with a wild expression, along with the caption: ‘It’s not a phase.’
The musician had already marked his new age by celebrating making it through the so-called ’27 Club,’ in a birthday post on Instagram.
In one photo, the English rocker sported a Chrome Hearts camouflage trucker cap emblazoned with the words ‘Chrome Hearts f**k Hollywood’, as he appeared to relax on a boat out at sea.

In another snap posted to his Instagram Stories, the singer posed shirtless in just a pair of black swimming shorts, drink in hand, as he let his hair down on the beach.
Referencing the ’27 Club’ he captioned the birthday post: ‘Made it through 27. thank f**k. here’s to 28. love you all. i will forever.’
Since the Seventies, the untimely deaths of influential musicians at 27 has led to a popular belief in the so-called ’27 Club’ phenomenon.
Unfortunate members include Amy Winehouse, Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain and Janis Joplin, who all died at the same young age.
The birthday snaps come after Yungblud shared a picture of the gift Ozzy Osbourne gave him before he died, hours after he gave a reading at the funeral at his home in Buckinghamshire.
The singer had a very strong relationship with Ozzy, whom he first met in 2022, and it appeared that their relationship grew into an almost father-son type bond.
Yungblud reportedly gave a touching reading at The Black Sabbath frontman’s funeral last week, after his death aged 76 on July 22.
Following the emotional day, the 28-year-old took to Instagram to share a close-up snap of the cross necklace Ozzy gifted him in 2022, during the filming of his The Funeral music video.

Yungblud later returned the favour by gifting Ozzy a custom-made cross necklace before Black Sabbath’s final show at Villa Park in Birmingham.
He wrote in the caption: ‘goodnight oz. your light will forever shine. I love you,’ with fans noting in the caption that Ozzy has ‘passed the torch of darkness on’ to Yungblud.
Yungblud previously revealed that the gift from Ozzy is the ‘most precious thing’ as he paid a ‘truly heartbroken’ tribute to the rocker.
The singer performed Changes at Black Sabbath’s final concert and has vowed to play it in Ozzy’s memory going forward.
Rock legend Ozzy was buried in the grounds of his own mansion in Buckinghamshire – as he had said he desired.
His widow, Sharon, 72, and their children were joined by heavy rock royalty at the event at the family’s home near Gerrards Cross, where he was being laid to rest near a lake at the heart of the sprawling 250-acre estate.
Marilyn Manson led the stars arriving at Ozzy’s private funeral as the heavy metal icon was laid to rest.
Following the funeral, Marilyn took to Instagram as he penned: ‘Today we laid to rest a beloved friend. I am eternally grateful that you let me into your life Ozzy.
‘Your inspiration and love will always be with me. Thank you Sharon and family for a reverent, beautiful ceremony. Your legacy lives on.’
Guests also included Manson’s wife, Lindsay Usich and Ozzy’s lead guitarist, Zakk Wylde.
And in true Ozzy fashion, stars arrived in gothic and heavy metal attire, with Rob Zombie donning skulls on a black scarf while Manson wore a long black jacket.
A huge floral tribute in the grounds of the mansion spells out an affectionate tribute to the heavy metal legend, with the words, ‘OZZY F***ING OSBOURNE’, on the banks of the Osbourne lake.
