Yungblud has opened up about his surprising new friendship with rock icon Roger Daltrey after a surprise phone call that he thought was spam.
The 27-year-old singer, also known as Dominic Harrison, said he received many calls from an unknown number in an interview with The Sun. He hung up their call several times before answering, and his ears picked up the voice of the 80-year-old Mr. Daltrey.
Daltrey said, “Hello, it’s Roger,” to which Yungblud replied, “Who Roger f***** who?”
The Who frontman contacted him while up the ladder repairing his roof.
“I was stunned to receive this unexpected phone call from the music legend,” Yungblud said. Daltrey, who said he was a fan of Yungblud, then suggested they go fly fishing.
Yungblud responded enthusiastically to the offer, saying he would accept Daltrey when his schedule allowed.
Daltrey rose to fame in the 1960s in The Who with Pete Townshend and bandmates John Entwistle and Keith Moon. The iconic band has sold more than 100 million records worldwide with classics like “Baba O’Riley” and “My Generation.”
Elsewhere, Yungblud is recording his fourth studio album, the follow-up to 2022 and the single “The Funeral”. According to him, it will be “a f– rock opera” and will be “loosely” based on the Bludfest he did a few months ago.
Yungblud recalled performing at the festival, saying he knew after performing in front of 30,000 people that he was ready for “the next adventure” in his music career.
In a recent interview with Kerrang! Yungblud spoke more about her journey to self-acceptance and added, “For the first time in my life, I think I’m starting to really like myself.”
He says that much of his writing comes from self-loathing, but now he’s free to write whatever he wants at any time.
