Bring Me The Horizon's Oli Sykes crashes Coldplay's table during NME Awards

It's no secret there's obviously a bit of hostility between Bring Me The Horizon front-man Oli Sykes and the members of Coldplay after the Chris Martin fronted band allegedly "ripped off/copied" their new album's cover art from BMTH's 2013 release "Sempiternal" as we reported back in November last year.

Oli Sykes mate it quite clear on twitter he wasn't impressed with Coldplay when he tweeted the following:

Well fast forward 3 months and he finally got to give Chris Martin and co. a piece of his mind at the NME Awards overnight. Coldplay were there to accept the Godlike Genuis award (ha!) which in the past has been awarded to such bands/musicians as Dave Grohl, Blondie, The Cure, Ozzy Osbourne and so many more; (you can see where our disapproval sits with them getting rewarded) but on the night Bring Me The Horizon were performing and Oli ventured into the crowd to get a little up close and personal with the band.

In the past Chris Martin stated he had never heard of the band before, we're assuming after this stunt, he won't be forgetting them any time soon!

Bravo Oli Sykes, Bravo!
