An Evening with YUNGBLUD — The Raw, Unfiltered Truth

1 hour 2 minutes

Rock is back and YUNGBLUD is leading the charge. In the Season 3 premiere, Allison Hagendorf and YUNGBLUD share an intimate conversation between friends about finding himself, legacy, and the future of rock ’n’ roll. Filmed in Allison's New York hotel room, this intimate, unfiltered conversation dives deep into his creative rebirth, mental health, and the raw truth behind his new era.

YUNGBLUD opens up about:

⚡️ His upcoming collab EP with Steven Tyler & Joe Perry

⚡️ Getting the co-sign from Ozzy Osbourne, Mick Jagger, Lenny Kravitz

⚡️ The pressures of fame & how he hit rock bottom

⚡️ Why he believes “rock is back” — and why imperfection is the point

⚡️ His relationship with Jesse Jo

⚡️ Balancing chaos & discipline, love & art, authenticity & evolution

This is YUNGBLUD like you’ve never seen him — raw, reflective, and ready to take rock & roll to the future.
