Bring me the Horizon frontman Oli Sykes has been having a lot of fun on social media since That’s the Spirit came out. First he accused Coldplay of ripping off the cover of the band’s Sempiternal for ads promoting the upcoming Coldplay album. And now he’s getting some flak from claiming that BMTH would be touring with Justin Bieber. Lambgoat tells us that via his Drop Dead clothing line’s Twitter account, he tweeted a fake admat for Justin Bieber’s tour with former One Direction singer Zayn Malik that featured Bring me the Horizon opening.
While some of That’s the Spirit is poppier than anything the band’s ever done, it’s not like the band are remotely poppy enough to tour with them, nor would it be a good look for anyone involved. That didn’t stop some people from believing it, and Zayn Malik’s legal team reached out to Oli.
Apparently zayn’s legal team cant take a joke… everyone can stop crying now, Bieber & BMTH won’t be sharing a stage anytime soon.

For all the Bieber fans that read Metal Insider, a) the tour is happening and b) what are you doing reading Metal Insider?
