Back in 2013, Bring Me The Horizon frontman Oli Sykes blasted Sleeping With Sirens singer Kellin Quinn for charging fans $80 for a VIP package. Now, in a new video for Bring Me The Horizon’s 2026 VIP package, Sykes officially apologized.
Sykes said the following in 2013:
“Next USA tour! Oli Sykes special polaroid package! Take a photo with me! Special price! Absolutely no charge at all! Fucking cockstars.”
Quinn later defended the package:
“My response
I feel like this is an amazing deal for 80 dollars if you disagree then don’t buy it, no one is forcing you k?

Early Entry Into The ‘Feel This’ Tour
General admission ticket to the ‘Feel This’ tour’keep in mind Polaroid film is super expensive, your getting the ticket to the show, you get front row over anyone else.. If you only want to pay general admission then just do that. However, if you do like the idea of doing all these things included.. It’s ONLY 80 dollars.. I would never charge someone money for just a picture with me.. I try and do anything and everything for my fans.. I do in fact have a family, and that family needs to be fed.. So thanks for supporting us and helping me continue to tour.. Without you there is no us! Love you Kellin”
Fast forward to 2026, Bring Me The Horizon have officially addressed the situation in a promo video:
“Do you have more money than common sense? Then you instantly qualify for Bring Me the Horizon’s VIP package extravaganza. I know, I know, but you try paying for pyro with integrity. To be fair, as far as completely unnecessary purchases go, this one’s actually pretty fucking decent. You get access to the VIP room, packed with sacred relics dragged straight from the band’s touring history. Disgustingly exclusive merch you can’t get anywhere else. And the crème de la crème, a completely ridiculous limited edition VIP box set packed with even more exclusive shit, the BMTH VIP experience. Capitalism, baby. Go get it before your frontal lobe kicks in. Oh, and, uh, Kellin Quinn, your apology is in the post.”
