Bangkok: Rockers unite! After impressing fans with his song "Zombie," released in late May 2025 and earning a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Song, 28-year-old British singer, songwriter, and actor YUNGBLUD brings back this excellent rock ballad, this time featuring the iconic, legendary rock band, two-time Grammy Award winners, The Smashing Pumpkins. This marks the band's first official collaboration with another artist, resulting in a cooler, more powerful version of "Zombie" that will appeal to rock fans even more.

According to Thai News Agency, "Zombie" is a proud achievement for YUNGBLUD. Not only did it receive overwhelmingly positive reviews from fans and critics, earning a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Song, but it also became his fastest solo single to reach 100 million streams. Furthermore, it peaked at number 9 on the Alternative radio chart, becoming his third song to reach the Top 10 and his highest-charting single in three years.

In addition to featuring in the song, The Smashing Pumpkins also appeared in the music video for "Zombie" with YUNGBLUD. Directed by Charlie Sarsfield, the video clearly showcases the cool poses of both YUNGBLUD and Billy Corgan, the lead singer of The Smashing Pumpkins.

YUNGBLUD will begin his sold-out North American tour in May 2026. This marks another year of unstoppable rising popularity for YUNGBLUD, solidifying his status as one of the most promising new rock stars to watch right now.
