Ukrainian band Antytila has asked singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran if its members can make a virtual appearance at an upcoming concert in England, saying there were not afraid to perform "under the bombs" amid the Russian invasion.
What Happened: Antytila made their offer on TikTok on Wednesday. They offered to go live from Kyiv for the concert, which is to be held in Birmingham, the United Kingdom on March 29.
“In peacetime, our concerts gathered stadiums, the war has changed our lives and now we are fighting with weapons against the Russian occupiers,” said a band member.
“We offer to make a live broadcast between Kyiv and Birmingham with Antytila temporarily joining the gig remotely," he said.
“We are not afraid to play under the bombs."
