George Ezra admitted that he had to change the lyrics for his Platinum Jubilee performance

George Ezra revealed that he had changed the lyrics of his songs he performed at the Queen's Platinum Jubilee performance. He removed the line "the day that I die."

Ezra noted that he didn't plan to explain it, but his fans noticed the change. When he sang his song Green Green Grass from his new album Gold Rush Kid, the chorus was supposed to read, "Green green grass, blue blue sky. You better throw a party on the day that I die."

The singer stopped singing after "you better throw a party."

"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," he told Metro.
