Since then, however, Sykes has clarified what happened, saying, “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.”
Bring Me The Horizon won NME's Innovation Award at the event. Drummer Matt Nicholls described it as the “best award [they’ve] ever got,” and that he would “shove it up [his] arse.”
