Yungblud & The Smashing Pumpkins Team Up For New Version of “Zombie”

Yungblud had kicked off the new year with a new version of his hit track Zombie, featuring the Smashing Pumpkins. Yungblud first crossed paths with Billy Corgan in Birmingham last July during Black Sabbath’s farewell concert, Back To The Beginning, where both artists took part in tributes honoring Ozzy Osbourne.

Speaking on the new collaboration, Yungblud shares ‘Zombie’ is the most important song of IDOLS to me. It’s deeply personal and it was heavily influenced by The Smashing Pumpkins’ ability to mix emotion, cinema and heavy guitars. I sent Billy an email, asking if he would re-imagine this song with me and when he agreed to it, it was a dream come true. To watch one of my idols work on something that I had written was one of the greatest honours of my life. I love that this new version of ‘Zombie’ is heavier, it has Billy Corgan’s iconic guitar sound, it has more urgency and it rips my heart out. I’m so proud of it.”
