Following their live collaboration together at this year’s edition of ‘The BRIT Awards‘, multi-platinum singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran has revealed he has long planned to work with Bring Me The Horizon on a new track. The pair performed a reworked version of Sheeran‘s platinum-certified “Bad Habits” at this year’s BRITS earlier this week, footage of which can be seen here.
Speaking to the Daily Star, Sheeran revealed that there’s more to come between the pair, offering:
“We’re going to write a song together… playing with Bring Me The Horizon was a dream. I got in touch with Oli [Sykes, Bring Me The Horizon vocalist] and we were going to write together but then the pandemic happened, so we were in touch – I’ve been a fan for a long time.
Oddly enough that’s the kind of music I grew up listening to and had a Kerrang! subscription and I listened to it constantly.”
Speaking of their beefed up version of “Bad Habits“, Sheeran stated:
“I actually said ‘Bad Habits‘ would be a bit of wet fart if I was just going up there and playing it normally. The song is EDM and they’ve [Bring Me The Horizon] taken it and made it a whole new thing. I was just like, you know what, these guitars are going to be great. It was a week’s turnaround – we emailed each other two weeks ago, recorded it a week ago and rehearsed it three days ago.”
