Bring Me The Horizon Faces Backlash Over ‘Jesus’ Comments

 

Bring Me The Horizon has sparked controversy among fans after lead vocalist Oli Sykes made comments referencing Jesus in a promotional video for their upcoming concert.

 

In the promo clip, Sykes jokingly referred to himself as “Jesus” while discussing the band’s highly-anticipated performance. However, the remark has been met with criticism from some fans, who have taken to social media to express their disappointment and frustration.

 

Many fans have slammed the band for what they perceive as disrespect towards the Christian faith, with some even calling for a boycott of their music. “As a Christian, I’m really disappointed in Oli’s comment,” wrote one fan on Twitter. “It’s not cool to mock someone’s faith like that.”

 

Others have defended the band, arguing that Sykes’ comment was clearly made in jest and not intended to offend. “People need to relax, it was just a joke,” wrote another fan. “Oli didn’t mean to disrespect anyone’s faith.”

 

The controversy has sparked a heated debate among fans, with some calling for greater sensitivity and respect from the band. Bring Me The Horizon has yet to publicly respond to the backlash.
