Yungblud<\/a>\u00a0has revealed that\u00a0Robbie Williams<\/a> wrote him a profound letter at a moment \u201cwhen it really needed to come\u201d.<\/p>\n

It has been a year of highs and lows for Yungblud \u2013 real name Dominic Harrison \u2013 from the release of his new album \u2018Idols\u2019<\/a>,\u00a0the\u00a0launch\u00a0of\u00a0his own venue space<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0picking up his first ever Grammy nominations<\/a>,\u00a0to\u00a0losing his mentor Ozzy Osbourne<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0having to cancel his final shows of the year on doctor\u2019s orders<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now, in a new interview with\u00a0Billboard<\/a>, Yungblud has opened up about the touching moment that he received a personal letter from Robbie \u2013 another solo artist that has had his share of mental health struggles and public criticism in the past \u2013 and the positive impact it had on him.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe wrote me this letter when it really needed to come,\u201d\u00a0Yungblud\u00a0said. \u201cHe related himself to me, saying that he knew what it was like to be a 28-year-old who was trying to figure out who they were, while also dealing with a million opinions about what he could be or never be.\u00a0People\u00a0don\u2019t\u00a0give Robbie the credit for his mind and the way he sees things.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Williams has reached out to fellow artists to offer support in the past,\u00a0notably\u00a0getting in contact with\u00a0Lewis Capaldi during his struggles in the public eye in 2023<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s\u00a0very difficult\u00a0for people to understand the psychology of this great gift that has been given to you\u00a0but yet\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0breaking you. Why?\u00a0You\u2019ve\u00a0got money;\u00a0you\u2019ve\u00a0got people going, \u2018We love you.\u2019 Wat\u2019s the problem with that?\u201d Williams told\u00a0DIY<\/a>\u00a0in\u00a02023.<\/p>\n

As for Yungblud,\u00a0he recently described his Grammy nominations as \u201can\u00a0honour\u201d,\u00a0but also said they are \u201ctragic\u201d<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He is up for Best Rock Album, Best Rock Song and Best Rock Performance, the latter for\u00a0the version of \u2018Changes\u2019 that he played at the final Black Sabbath show \u2018Back To The Beginning\u2019 in July<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know how I feel about it,\u201d he said. \u201cAs a singer, to be Grammy nominated for a live performance where you\u00a0can\u2019t\u00a0go into a studio and overdub it or make it perfect,\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0a moment\u00a0that\u2019s\u00a0gone and you\u00a0can\u2019t\u00a0share it with the person you were singing it to\u201d.<\/p>\n

He is still due to play\u00a0a run of UK and Ireland arena dates in April<\/a>,\u00a0a tour that\u00a0he recently extended due to outstanding demand<\/a>.\u00a0You can see the complete list of dates\u00a0here<\/a>\u00a0and find any remaining tickets\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
