Ed Sheeran and Oliver Sykes from Bring Me the Horizon perform during The BRIT Awards 2022 at The O2 Arena on February 08, 2022 in London, England.
Gareth Cattermole/GIEd Sheeran and Bring Me the Horizon‘s pop-rock collaboration is here. After teaming up at the 2022 Brit Awards on Feb. 8 for a rock ‘n’ roll take on Sheeran’s “Bad Habits,” the pop star and the rock band have released the studio version of track on Thursday (Feb. 17) for their fans to enjoy.
Bring Me the Horizon’s lead singer Oli Sykes and Sheeran first shared the news of an official studio version of the song on Valentine’s Day. They made the announcement on their social media accounts by posting a FaceTime video call between the two singers, along with a pre-save link to their collaboration.
In the call, the pair discussed their “controversial” version of “Bad Habits” at the Brits, which, in an unexpected surprise to viewers, featured guttural screams from Sykes. “That show was nuts,” Sheeran said during the video chat. “It’s just a joy to be able to play electric guitar and actually rock out properly.”
“So many people are asking for a studio version, it’s mental,” Sykes said, to which Sheeran replied, “We have to get one out. Do you think we can turn it around fast?”
Sheeran’s collaboration with Bring Me the Horizon is not the only rock project that he’s attempting get off the ground. Cradle of Filth‘s Dan Filth revealed in an interview with Consequence that the “Bad Habits” singer has reached out for a potential collaboration.
“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.”
He added, “The thing that interests me, if we would undertake [the collaboration], the juxtaposition between what we do and what he does.”

NBA YoungBoy has faced several hardships in recent years. Along with serving time behind bars, the rapper has also dealt with mental health challenges linked to the painful experiences in his life.
His music has often given listeners insight into that pain. During a recent appearance with Funny Marco on Open Thoughts, YoungBoy opened up even further about what he has been going through.
During the conversation, YoungBoy revealed that he no longer plans to live in the United States. He confirmed that he currently resides in South Korea. Although he did not share why he chose that country, his comments suggest he is ready to leave his life in America behind.
Funny Marco asked YoungBoy whether he might ever move back to the United States. The rapper responded with “never in life,” though he admitted that he could return for a visit someday.
Before relocating, YoungBoy lived on a ranch in Utah, where local residents had gradually started becoming more comfortable with him. His new home in South Korea now places him in a completely different cultural environment.
Adjusting to such a major change may not be easy, but YoungBoy has shown his strength and appears confident about where he wants to live. After experiencing so much pain in the United States, he seemingly feels more comfortable keeping his distance.
The move also comes as he deals with serious health concerns involving his heart. The condition remains an ongoing concern, and we hope the artist receives the support he needs as he continues facing this difficult medical situation.
