For Oprah, it was ricotta pancakes at Bill’s and a coastal hike to Bondi. For UK rocker YungBlud, a warm welcome to Sydney looked a little, erm, different.
Shortly after touching down on our shores ahead of his Australian tour, the Parents and California singer-songwriter, wasted no time hitting Sydney’s Harbour in the best way he knows how – stark naked.
The 28-year-old star, real name Dominic Harrison, was spotted stripping off during an exclusive harbour yacht party with a deck full of pals and Aussie socialites. Among them was Aussie nude artist Dina Broadhurst and her millionaire beau John Winning.
The musician appeared relaxed and carefree as he sipped a drink and let it all hang out with only his signature tats on show while laughing and mingling with his guests.
Showing a hint of modesty at one point, he was snapped doing his best to cover up by strategically placing his hand and towel over his crown jewels and tried to carry on a conversation. Those around him appeared blissfully unaware of the antics, carrying on as if nothing was out of the ordinary.
Prior to touching down in Sydney, the artist spoke to news.com.au where he opened up about his new cougar fan base.
“I’m telling you, the older birds, they’re a bit more aggressive. It’s crazy, you know what I mean? The nails are sharper,” he shared.
“I’m down (for it). It’s definitely another generation’s vibe but whatever man, rock’n’roll.”
Days prior to his tour kicking off on January 10th, Harrison’s tour was already causing a stir with fans of all ages spotted lining up in Sydney eager to meet their rock idol – with some travelling as far as Camden and even California for the meet-and-greet-experience.
“I just love him so much,” one young fan said.
The Aussie leg of the rocker’s tour was in doubt in mid-November when Harrison was forced to cancel the remaining performances slated for the end of the year thanks to doctors’ requests.
“I normally get some tests every time I come off a tour and I was just advised, (because) we’re going for 18 months from now, that we’d just cancel a couple gigs, make sure I’m all right,” he shared with news.com.au, claiming he needed a break from relentless touring, releasing new music and his tribute concert to late rock great, Ozzy Osbourne.
“Fundamentally, I’m fine … the whole world was like, what the f**k? It blew up and I didn’t really mean for it to blow up that hard.
“My vibe is, I think it’s been a crazy year and I really got to look after myself and comprehend what happened this year, you know?”
Hey, if that means a little skinny dip in arguably the best harbour in the world, who could honestly blame him?
