George Ezra censors song at Party at the Palace to remove lyric about dying

Singer-songwriter George Ezra censored his song lyric about dying during his performance at the Platinum Party At The Palace. The musician performed his hit song Green Green Grass at the star-studded event outside Buckingham Palace on Saturday (June 4) in celebration of Her Majesty the Queen's incredible 70 year reign.

And viewers watching the BBC coverage noticed that the Shotgun and Budapest hitmaker omitted a line from the chorus in which he sings: “Green green grass, blue blue sky, you better throw a party on the day that I die." Instead he ended the chorus at "you better throw a party" and filled in the rest with an instrumental.

Viewers flocked to Twitter to have their say. @afcwomblelong said: "Should have just sang 'on the day I eat pie'" @KernowLeeds22 tweeted: "George Ezra self editing 'better throw a party on the day that I die' for the 96 year old queen’s Jubilee is pretty hilarious not going to lie."
