In other news, Yungblud recently released new single ‘Don’t Feel Like Feeling Sad Today’, which is taken from his self-titled third album that arrives on September 2.

In a press release, the artist (real name Dominic Harrison) explained that he wrote the song “to help me stand up”, declaring that, “To me, this song is what happiness feels like. A defiant sort of happiness. Looking at yourself in the mirror and telling the sadness to fuck off and come back another day.

“I wanted this song to be a little part of someone’s day. No matter what they’re going through, they can put this on and feel a bit stronger today. That’s the vision; that’s the dream.”

He also debuted new song ‘Tissues’ at Glastonbury Festival last month – watch that here.
