Overview

• Yungblud released “Zombie” on May 30 as the latest preview of his double album Idols, punctuated by a soaring rock arrangement backed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra.
• Florence Pugh stars in the video as a grief-stricken nurse in a portrayal filmed by Charlie Sarsfield that culminates in an emotional breakdown with angel wings.
• The song’s lyrics draw on Yungblud’s grandmother’s serious injury and his own battle with body dysmorphia to explore themes of deterioration and fear of becoming a burden.
• To celebrate the premiere, Yungblud and Pugh surprised patrons at The Devonshire in Piccadilly by serving pints in an impromptu pub takeover.
• Idols is set to arrive June 20 and will be supported by an Idols World Tour beginning in Los Angeles on August 23, 2025.
