10 Biggest WTF Moments In 2020s Rock So Far
4. Bring Me The Horizon And Ed Sheeran
In many ways, Ed Sheeran is the opposite of cocaine.
He decreases your heartbeat, he is widely available, and Tony Montana would have wanted nothing to do with him.
The redheaded wonder is one of the biggest artists in the world and let's not take anything away from his success. He appeals to a lot of people, but diehard rock fans are usually not among them.
So, imagine that subsection's response when it was announced that Mr. Shape of You was doing a song with British metal giants Bring Me the Horizon.
At the 2022 BRIT Awards in the UK, Sheeran brought out the band behind Shadow Moses for a surprise performance of his song Bad Habits. It was a surprise because nobody was expecting it and nobody wanted it.
As if that wasn't mad enough, the two then announced that a studio version of their collaboration was going to be released. In that moment, across the nation, thousands of little emo hearts cried out in horror.
Look, musicians can do what they want and work with who they want, but this has to rank up there with one of the weirdest duets in the history of metal music.
