A second tweet featured a clip of him in a Union Jack dress setting fire to a straight jacket. “It’s time to step out of the 21st century,” its caption read.

This comes after Yungblud changed his Instagram and Twitter profile pictures to an image of a strawberry last week.
Back in 2018, he simply tweeted the word “strawberries,” to which a fan replied by posting a clip of Yungblud saying the word.
Additionally, in the opening seconds of his interview with NME‘s Andrew Trendell last year, Yungblud shouted out the word, “Strawberries!” You can see those posts below.

Last month, Yungblud announced the rescheduled dates for his UK tour after it was postponed earlier in the year due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The NME Award-winning Doncaster rocker revealed details of a UK tour in January, with shows kicking off on May 22 in Glasgow at Barrowland. He was also due to play five shows in London at the O2 Forum Kentish Town on May 26-28 and June 3-4.
Late last month, Yungblud announced that the tour will now take place in 2021, kicking off with two dates at Nottingham’s Rock City on March 8 and 9. The tour will then roll through Glasgow and end with five dates at London’s O2 Forum Kentish Town.
Meanwhile, Yungblud has announced a new graphic novel called Weird Times at Quarry Banks University.
The book will follow on from the musician’s first graphic novel, 2019’s The Twisted Tales of the Ritalin Club, and serves as the second volume in the series. It was co-written by Ryan Sullivan (Turncoat, Void Trip).
