George Ezra could have had a controversial moment at the Queen’s Jubilee concert last weekend. The Hertford singer-songwriter sang his recent single Green Green Grass, a jaunty number with a chorus that goes: “Green green grass, blue blue sky/You’d better throw a party on the day that I die.” Wisely deciding that the second line might not sound entirely positive to a 96-year-old during a massive party, he kept his mouth closed for that bit.
Of course he did. He’s a consummate people-pleaser, perfectly suited to family audiences such as the one outside Buckingham Palace and the viewers of Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway. He’s been a regular booking on the latter, delivering a charming seaside-themed performance of the previous single, Anyone for You (Tiger Lily), with Ant and Dec’s help in April.
