If you want Blud ... you've got it!

Older & wiser Yungblud opens up on new album, Idols

- 

Yungblud is coming out fighting with his new music.

He's confronted his demons, taken up boxing and is battling against toxic masculinity.

And what he delivers with album Idols really packs a punch.

"I really had to face myself... figure it out and face it," he tells us.

And Yungblud, 27, reckons he has really grown in the process.

"I would use food and alcohol to distract myself and push things down," he says. "The album is a mirror to that.

"I have singing lessons. I don't drink as much and I've been getting better at sleeping. I've been getting better at being able to navigate this whole thing better - that's been epic."

Idols is Yungblud's fourth studio release, the first coming out in 2018.

He filmed the music video for single Hello Heaven shirtless during a -14C blizzard in Bulgaria - and is enjoying flashing the flesh.
