When Ed Sheeran and Bring Me The Horizon opened the BRIT Awards last week with a metal version of ‘Bad Habits’ I think everyone watching – every single one – immediately screamed, “What about Cradle Of Filth?!”After all, the extreme metal band were the first to talk about working on a heavy collaboration with Sheeran and it looked a little like they’d been sidelined for some more chart-friendly metallers. It’s alright though, Ed Sheeran can manage more than one riff partnership. Things are still at the discussion stage regarding the Cradle Of Filth collaboration though.“Ed’s expressed a desire to be part of a song, and we’re currently looking at some options, and that’s about as far as it’s got”, the band’s frontman Dani Filth tells Heavy Consequence.“The thing that interests me [is] the juxtaposition between what we do and what he does”, he adds.

Bring Me The Horizon and Ed Sheeran have today (February 17) released an alternative studio version of ‘Bad Habits’ together – listen to it below.On February 8, Sheeran teamed up with the metal group for a reworked version of his 2021 track ‘Bad Habits’ to open the BRIT Awards 2022.Earlier this week, the pair also teased a studio release of the song, after Bring Me The Horizon’s Oli Sykes shared a FaceTime call he had with Sheeran in which the pair discuss their live performance and an upcoming release of the song.Sykes said: “There are so many people asking for like a studio version,” to which Sheeran replied: “We have to get one out”, while Sheeran added: “We’ll get Jordan and the lads on it and I’ll get the vocals in. Make sure it goes proper death growl at the end!”Now, their alternative version of the track has been released.

Ed Sheeran has announced details of some new warm up shows ahead of his UK and European tour later this year.Sheeran will play two gigs in Brighton, followed by five new London shows.

Ed Sheeran has reportedly been given the green light to build a crypt under the floor of a chapel on his estate in Suffolk.The singer submitted a planning application to East Suffolk Council in December in regards to his estate, which is located near the town of Framlingham and close to where Sheeran grew up.As The Guardian reports, Sheeran is seeking permission to construct a crypt in the nave of the chapel, which itself has been described as a “private place of retreat for contemplation and prayer”.The chapel, which is still under construction after it was finally approved in 2019 following setbacks, is set to be flint-lined and feature a lead roof, stained-glass windows and a spiral-stair tower.The chapel’s crypt, which is the subject of this latest planning application, would be a 1.8-by-2.7 metre “burial zone beneath (penetration through slab)” the chapel’s ground floor.The Sun reports that Sheeran has now been given the all-clear by East Suffolk Council’s environmental and conservation officials, despite a staunch objection from one local resident.Local councillors will now have the final say on whether Sheeran’s plans for the crypt will be officially approved.

Cradle Of Filth are “looking at some options” for their forthcoming Ed Sheeran collaboration, according to the band’s frontman Dani Filth.The unlikely team-up was first mooted last summer after Sheeran said that he “was really into death metal as a kid”, adding: “I listened to Cradle of Filth and Slipknot and all that stuff.”Filth subsequently revealed that he and Sheeran had been in touch about a potential collaboration, and that the Suffolk singer was “a massive fan” of the band.Speaking to Heavy Consequence in a new interview, Filth has now given a fresh update on the progress of his band’s collaboration with Sheeran.“Ed’s expressed a desire to be part of a song, and we’re currently looking at some options, and that’s about as far as it’s got,” Filth said. “He did invite me up to his house – he doesn’t live very far from me, probably 18 to 20 miles from where I live.“The thing that interests me, if we would undertake [the collaboration], the juxtaposition between what we do and what he does.

Frank Turner has said that it would be “pretty funny and cool” if he triumphed in this week’s battle for the UK’s Number One album.The singer/songwriter is currently on course to secure his first-ever UK Number One album with ‘FTHC’, his ninth studio LP.Speaking in a self-filmed video that was posted on his social media channels yesterday (February 14), Turner said that ‘FTHC’ is “in [a] good position, but with a challenger” approaching.“It’s important to say when I was a kid I didn’t really care about the charts, and part of me still doesn’t,” he continued.“At the same time, like so many things in my career, it feels like the kind of thing I’m not really supposed to get. Therefore, it’d be pretty funny and pretty cool if I did get that top spot.”Right folks, it looks like FTHC has a chance at the #1 slot in the UK charts this week.
