British rocker Yungblud has opened up about his sexuality, sharing that he now feels “less insecure” about identifying as pansexual.
The 27-year-old musician, whose real name is Dominic Harrison, reflected on his journey in a new interview with Attitude magazine, stating, “I am the pan man — I’m the f**king saucepan. Because it’s the [label] that allows me to be who I am; it’s the one with the most room for manoeuvre.”
“Do you know what I’m saying? I do feel like I am less insecure about it.”
Yungblud, known for hits like “Zombie,” has long been candid about his sexuality. He previously dismissed claims of queerbaiting — a term used when public figures are accused of playing up queerness to attract LGBTQ+ fans without explicitly identifying as queer themselves.
Speaking on the We Need to Talk podcast with Paul C. Brunson, he firmly addressed the criticism: “I’ve f**ked everyone under the sun and that’s the vibe. I love love. And if it’s a vibe, it’s a vibe.”
He continued: “People can formulate an idea on something they don’t even know… if the person’s a vibe, the person’s a vibe.”
Yungblud’s upcoming Bludfest performance will take place at The National Bowl in Milton Keynes, England, on 21 June 2025.
This isn’t the first time he’s spoken openly about his identity. In a 2020 interview with Hunger magazine, he described the moment he embraced the label. “I was just like with it all; ‘I’m pan, you know what I’m saying?’ It doesn’t matter what genitalia you’ve got or what you identify as. If I love you, I love you and that’s it.”
He admitted the journey to self-acceptance wasn’t easy. “That’s (something) I’ve struggled with my whole life, because I didn’t know what I was. I couldn’t quite put a label on it, then I learned about pansexuality from magazines and the internet.”
For Yungblud, his sexuality is part of a broader message about freedom and acceptance. “What I want to encourage with my message is that no matter what you are, no matter how you want to express yourself, you are individual and you are beautiful just by simply existing.”
He added, “I wanted to make a stand so that if anyone’s out there scared to come out, they will come out.”
In the same year, Yungblud also shared that he is polyamorous, explaining to Attitude, “I love everyone, I’m attracted to everyone.”
