Bring Me The Horizon frontman Oli Sykes has since commented on his destruction of Coldplay‘s table at last night’s ‘NME Awards‘:
“I had no sound in my ears so I thought ‘Well, there might be sound out there.’ There weren’t sound out there so when I came back there was a table, which I got on. There wasn’t any sound on there, but it was a bit more energetic up there. It was in no way a protest to Coldplay.”
Given that last October Sykes called out Coldplay on Twitter for jacking their artwork, many presumed Sykes‘ actions were premeditated. Coldplay‘s Chris Martin has laughed off the incident himself, saying it was “it was great, very rock n roll”, while admitting he had not heard of the band prior.
