Ed Sheeran certainly set the mood for tonight’s Brit Awards, as rock band Bring Me The Horizon joined him in a surprise duet.

The 31-year-old singer opened tonight’s festivities with his hit single Bad Habits, but fans were taken aback when presenter Mo Gilligan introduced the global superstars.

The Shivers musician promised his big moment would include pyrotechnics and lasers and aerial dancer, and boy was he telling the truth.

However, it was Ed’s duet with BMTH frontman Oli Sykes that had everyone talking.

One fan tweeted: ‘I loved the Ed x BMTH vibe. When’s it coming to Spotify please?’

While another added: ‘Ed x bmth wasn’t on my 2022 bingo card but I’ll take it.’

Wow, Ed Sheehan and Bring Me the Horizon. What a clash of worlds 😍 #brits2022

‘An Ed Sheeran and Bring me The Horizon collab was not what I was expecting but I am here for it allll day long,’ chimed another.

The award-winning songwriter, who will be performing his brand-new single later on in the show, was one of the first to arrive at London’s O2 Arena and it wasn’t hard to spot Ed, with the blue velvet suit he was rocking.
