And he will wear the necklace given to him by his Black Sabbath idol, who died last year, at tonight’s ceremony in LA, where he is also up for two other Grammys.
Yet despite accolades Stateside, and two UK No1 albums last year, he says it feels “weird” to be a notable omission at this month’s Brits.
He told me: “I just think with the Brits, there’s something more corporate afoot. I feel like I’ve not kissed the babies in my own country that I should — I’ve done it my way.
“And I think someone’s pissed off at me for that. The beautiful thing about the Grammys is it’s voted for by your peers — musicians and artists.

“The Brits, you can tell it’s been done in a boardroom by a committee that’s out of touch. That’s a lot of the British music industry.
“But I’m vibing, man — I’m at the Grammys!”
And Yungblud — real name Dominic Harrison — vows to the keep celebrations rock ’n’ roll — having VOMMED from partying so hard during a pre-Grammys night out with Sharon Osbourne and Lewis Capaldi.
He and Lewis “had a mad one”.
Yungblud said: “We had an accidentally brilliant night. I threw up!
“Everyone’s full of s***. Me and Lewis always find each other at a party, to talk about something half-normal.
“There’s so many parties . . . you end up going for two minutes, and everyone looks shell-shocked.
“So we end up throwing our own. We had such a good night. Sharon came out. Lewis came out.”
Yungblud jokes he is “clearing room in my suitcase” for potential Grammy trophies, though any wins would be bittersweet without Ozzy.
He said: “It’s wild when you love someone. You idolise someone.
“And then you get to know them, then you perform this song to honour them and it gets Grammy-nominated.
“It’s weird to comprehend.”
YUNGBLUD is throwing his own “riot” of a Grammys afterparty at Sunset Strip’s Rainbow Bar and Grill – famed for hosting wild bashes with the likes of Led Zeppelin and Motley Crue.
He says: “It will be a f***ing free-for-all, with pizza and beer, doing bumps of caviar.”
The rocker, who stripped naked on a yacht in Sydney, Australia, while touring last year, insists: “I’m not really sick. I’m usually alright. I’ll probably end up naked – but I won’t be sick.”

One of the ideas is to rework their track Home with lyrics cheering on the Scots squad, and Nathan would love it to become the official supporters’ tune this summer.
He said: “We’ve got something cooking that hopefully we can pull off. And if we do, it’ll be something massive.”

Aitch was seen cracking jokes with the blonde, who believes in “manifesting” the life you want.
An onlooker said: “Aitch is a bit younger, but didn’t lack confidence. They were having a right giggle and, by the end of the evening, they were kissing in front of everyone. They exchanged numbers.”
Single mum-of-three Francesca has told listeners she dreams of going on E4 dating show Celebs Go Dating. I hope this helps manifest it for her . . .

But now Teddy – who last year released the final part of his album series I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy – is putting his best foot forward and getting himself out there with a profile on A-list dating app Raya.
The singer – born Jaten Dimsdale – posted a series of snaps showing off his tattoos and dapper style, advertising the fact he is based in Sherman Oaks, California.
He, fittingly, uses his own music to illustrate his profile.
Happy swiping . . .

An onlooker said: “They were completely loved up and kept kissing, it was very sweet.
“Golo the pooch is like their child and travels with them everywhere.”
Speaking several years ago, Callum confessed that his beloved pet helped to keep him grounded.
He said: “I have a dog, yeah. He keeps me very humble.
“You know, picking up his poo every day keeps you humble.”
That’ll certainly do the trick . . .

Jack said: “My youngest daughter has been having a lot of ‘interactions’, shall we say. She’s three – she keeps saying, ‘He sings to me at night.’ I’m like, ‘That’s awesome, what’s he singing to you?’
“I don’t make a big deal about it. I’m supportive of it, I’m instantly like, they’re kids, they have imaginations and stuff.
“But she’s saying things and I’m like, ‘How do you know that? We haven’t been saying things – where does that come from?’”
Speaking on the Howie Mandel podcast, Jack added: “For her, the more she brings it up, it’s becoming a thing and I think that it’s not just her imagination.”
Hopefully he’s not Paranoid . . .

“Organisers swear they’ve got it all under control and are working closely with the Old Bill, promising a safe and sensible do.”
It’s like the One Direction days all over again . . .
