While the Yungblud-led VMAs tribute of Ozzy Osbourne was hailed by many – especially for bridging the gap between younger rock luminaries and veterans such as Nuno Bettencourt, Joe Perry, and Steven Tyler – the Darkness' Dan and Justin Hawkins were less than impressed by the performance.
In fact, they took to social media to deem it as “another nail in the coffin of rock n roll” and “cynical, nauseating and more importantly; shit.” Furthermore, there was a further insinuation that Yungblud was using Ozzy's legacy to further his own career.
