Cradle Of Filth have given fans an update on when to expect the release of their long-awaited collaboration with Ed Sheeran.The collaboration was first revealed in 2021, when the band’s frontman Dani Filth revealed that he had been in touch with the pop star and that Sheeran had invited him “up to his place”.Work on the track was progressing in 2022 according to Filth, with work then halted due to Sheeran becoming a father. Filth was then pictured at the pub with Sheeran and producer Scott Atkins in late 2022, with a tentative release date of summer 2023 then set.While the track didn’t arrive then, Filth has now spoken to Polish YouTube channel Pełna Kulturka about progress on the track.“One of the surprises, obviously, but it’s not so much a surprise is that we’ve got a song that we have Ed Sheeran guesting on,” he said. “It’s gonna be on the album.”He added that “people have heard it and loved it” and that the song is “what you imagine — it’s Cradle Of Filth and it’s Ed Sheeran.

It’s now more than a year and a half since the idea of a collaboration between Ed Sheeran and Cradle Of Filth was first mooted. Have we heard anything yet? I think you know the answer to that. However, by the time the two year anniversary rolls around, all that could change.“Ed’s done all his parts”, Cradle Of Filth frontman Dani Filth tells Metal Hammer of said collaboration.

Cradle Of Filth have shared an update on their highly-anticipated collaboration with Ed Sheeran.Back in 2021, frontman Dani Filth revealed that he had been in touch with the pop star and that Sheeran had invited him “up to his place”.The following year, Filth shared that work on the track was progressing, but Sheeran becoming a father had delayed sessions. However, in December Filth shared a photo of himself at the pub with Sheeran and producer Scott Atkins.“A little over a week ago I was having lunch with the unlikely lads, having just done something fun,” read the caption.A post shared by Dani Filth (@danifilthofficial)In a new interview with LouderSound, Filth confirmed that “Ed’s done all his parts.”“It’s just bass and vocals for me to do on my return to England after Easter,” he continued.

Cradle Of Filth frontman Dani Filth has given an update on his band’s long-awaited collaboration with Ed Sheeran. Short version: It’s not finished, but it has at least now been started.“We still have yet to finish our song with Ed Sheeran”, he tells the Knotfest YouTube channel. “He’s done some of it, but then he had a baby, and then he got obviously sidetracked with that and doing whatever Ed does, which is play massive shows around the globe.

Cradle Of Filth and Ed Sheeran collaboration could be here soon, with the metal outfit’s frontman Dani Filth revealing both parties are progressing with work on a joint song.In an interview with Knotfest (via Revolver), Filth says the band and Sheeran are inching closer to putting out a collaborative track. “We still have yet to finish our song with Ed Sheeran,” he explained.“He’s done some of it, but then he had a baby, and then he got obviously sidetracked with that and doing whatever Ed does, which is play massive shows around the globe,” Filth added. “He’s not at our beck and call.

When Ed Sheeran and Bring Me The Horizon opened the BRIT Awards last week with a metal version of ‘Bad Habits’ I think everyone watching – every single one – immediately screamed, “What about Cradle Of Filth?!”After all, the extreme metal band were the first to talk about working on a heavy collaboration with Sheeran and it looked a little like they’d been sidelined for some more chart-friendly metallers. It’s alright though, Ed Sheeran can manage more than one riff partnership. Things are still at the discussion stage regarding the Cradle Of Filth collaboration though.“Ed’s expressed a desire to be part of a song, and we’re currently looking at some options, and that’s about as far as it’s got”, the band’s frontman Dani Filth tells Heavy Consequence.“The thing that interests me [is] the juxtaposition between what we do and what he does”, he adds.

Ed Sheeran has reportedly been given the green light to build a crypt under the floor of a chapel on his estate in Suffolk.The singer submitted a planning application to East Suffolk Council in December in regards to his estate, which is located near the town of Framlingham and close to where Sheeran grew up.As The Guardian reports, Sheeran is seeking permission to construct a crypt in the nave of the chapel, which itself has been described as a “private place of retreat for contemplation and prayer”.The chapel, which is still under construction after it was finally approved in 2019 following setbacks, is set to be flint-lined and feature a lead roof, stained-glass windows and a spiral-stair tower.The chapel’s crypt, which is the subject of this latest planning application, would be a 1.8-by-2.7 metre “burial zone beneath (penetration through slab)” the chapel’s ground floor.The Sun reports that Sheeran has now been given the all-clear by East Suffolk Council’s environmental and conservation officials, despite a staunch objection from one local resident.Local councillors will now have the final say on whether Sheeran’s plans for the crypt will be officially approved.

Cradle Of Filth are “looking at some options” for their forthcoming Ed Sheeran collaboration, according to the band’s frontman Dani Filth.The unlikely team-up was first mooted last summer after Sheeran said that he “was really into death metal as a kid”, adding: “I listened to Cradle of Filth and Slipknot and all that stuff.”Filth subsequently revealed that he and Sheeran had been in touch about a potential collaboration, and that the Suffolk singer was “a massive fan” of the band.Speaking to Heavy Consequence in a new interview, Filth has now given a fresh update on the progress of his band’s collaboration with Sheeran.“Ed’s expressed a desire to be part of a song, and we’re currently looking at some options, and that’s about as far as it’s got,” Filth said. “He did invite me up to his house – he doesn’t live very far from me, probably 18 to 20 miles from where I live.“The thing that interests me, if we would undertake [the collaboration], the juxtaposition between what we do and what he does.

Ed Sheeran has discussed the possibility that he might one day write a metal album, saying it’s “something I would not be opposed to creating”.Hot on the heels of his new single ‘Bad Habits’, Sheeran spoke to The Sun about his formative explorations into the genre, where he revealed that he “was really into death metal as a kid”.“I listened to Cradle Of Filth and Slipknot and all that stuff,” he said. “I’m not saying I could ever step into that world.
