Is a collaboration with Cradle Of Filth’s Dani Filth and Ed Sheeran in the works?

It looks like a go. After all, Sheeran has been talking lately about his love for metal, so it seems appropriate.

“I’ve actually been emailing with him,” Filth told Kerrang! Radio backstage at Bloodstock Festival 2021 regarding communication between Filth and the pop star.

“No no, it’s true!” he added. “He actually touched base with me. I’ve been invited up to his place. Well, he said he could come down to mine, but I pointed out to him that I don’t own my own bar or village, and it’d be better if I went there. He said he’d do anything. Quite literally. He said he’s a massive fan. He seems like a genuinely very nice guy actually.”

He continued, “I think the Ed Sheeran collaboration would be great fun. I think it’d be great if we did it for charity because at least it would bring a bit of credibility to it. Because obviously to his public, it’d be like ‘Oh my god, he’s got this weird comical guy’, and to my public, it’d be like ‘Oh my god, this is a bit weird, isn’t it?’ But I think that sort of thing, nowadays, works.”

This should be interesting!
