Too much Idols ain’t enough. Yungblud knows it, and today (Feb. 20), he shows it with the “Complete” edition of his Grammy-nominated Idols.

Billed as Idols II, the extended version includes a fresh batch of seven tracks, including a new version of “Zombie” featuring The Smashing Pumpkins.


Idols (Complete) “Disc 2” also houses the six previously unheard tracks: “I Need You (To Make the World Seem Fine),” “The Postman,” “Time,” “War Part II,” “Blueberry Hill” and “Suburban Requiem.”

“This is it. The second chapter of the Idols story,” the British rocker wrote earlier in the week, announcing the expanded release. “Part 1 was a journey that helped me reclaim my identity from the darkest position I’ve ever been in my life. Part 2 is about realizing that I am alive, that I am real, that this journey that I’ve been on didn’t kill me. It’s about realizing that you can feel invincible when you actually feel yourself. It’s about comprehending that my heart is beating and that my lungs are filling up with air.”

A native of Doncaster, England, Yungblud (real name: Dominic Harrison) is enjoying a bright start to the year. Idols was nominated for best rock album at the 2026 Grammys, and its lead single, “Zombie,” for best rock song. He scooped his first Grammy at the 68th ceremony, winning best rock performance prize for his version of “Changes” performed at the July 2025 farewell show for Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne in Birmingham, England.

Idols (via Universal), Yungblud’s fourth studio album, dropped in June 2025 and gave the artist his third consecutive No. 1 on the Official U.K. Chart. Then, in December 2025, he got a fourth when his collaboration with Aerosmith, One More Time, topped the national tally.

Thanks to his recent tour of Australia, Idols finally climbed to No. 1 on the ARIA Chart in January 2026, his second leader in the land down under, after his self-titled third album spent one week at No. 1 in 2022.

Bryan Adams Takes Swipe at Donald Trump’s Expansionist Dreams With ’51st State’ Protest Song: ‘You Better Show Some Respect’

The pointed rock tune was released on Wednesday (July 1) to coincide with Canada Day.

Bryan Adams has a very clear message for anyone down South who thinks his home country of Canada is on the market: “We’ll never be the 51st state.” The Ontario-bred rocker released a pointed protest song aimed at an audience of one on Wednesday (July 1), just in time for Canada Day, which this year celebrates the 159th anniversary of Confederation for our neighbors to the North.

“51st State,” was released on YouTube and other social media platforms as a spicy rejoinder to U.S. President Donald Trump’s repeated musings about absorbing the sovereign nation into the fold and making it, well, just refer back to the song’s title.
