In an interview with NME following the event, members of BMTH clarified Oli’s motives. “I don't think [Oli] was aiming for Coldplay,” said keyboardist Jordan Fish. “It was just whoever was nearest, it [just] happened to be Coldplay.”

Sykes himself added, ”I had no sound in my ears so I thought 'Well, there might be sound out there.' There weren't sound out there, so when I came back there was a table, which I got on. There wasn't any sound on there, but it was a bit more energetic up there. It was in no way a protest against Coldplay.”
