George Ezra says 'royals or producers' made him change 'dying' lyric for Jubilee performance
ok.co.ukGeorge Ezra has revealed that he was told to change the lyric "dying" while performing his tune Green Green Grass for his Jubilee performance.The 29 year old missed out some lyrics in his song Green Green Grass during his performance at the Jubilee celebrations for The Queen.
Part of the chorus to the undeniably catchy tune usually goes: "Green green grass, blue blue sky. You better throw a party on the day that I die" - however, the reference to passing away was not heard during his performance.
George has now explained that he was told to make the change by either the "royals or producers" - even though he felt the move was unnecessary as the song is about "celebrating life".
Speaking to The Sun, George said: "I think the reaction to it has kind of worked in our favour to say it was unnecessary. My gut instinct was that you don't need to change it. "I don't know if it came from the royals or the producers of the show, but it's pretty obvious that if you're playing for the Royal Family and the powers that be say, 'We don't want you to sing that lyric,' then you're not going to argue." George defended his song as anything but morbid, claiming that "it feels good when you sing it".
