Bring Me The Horizon and Billie Eilish appear to be teasing a collab. With the new Bring Me The Horizon album POSTHUMAN: NeX GEn creeping closer, fans have been hyper-focused on their social media accounts, looking for something, anything that might indicate a release date more specific than the "summer 2024" promise frontman Oli Sykes has been making of late. That fixation seems to have unearthed a couple of cryptic posts between Bring Me The Horizon and Eilish that seem to point to Billie appearing on the NeX GEn track Limousine.
As reported by Loudwire, Sykes dropped the song title Limousine on multiple posts on Eilish's Instagram, the first reference came as a comment on a celebratory post that Eilish made after winning the Golden Globe Award for 'Best Original Song' for her Barbie Movie soundtrack song What Was I Made For? Sykes simply commented "sick" followed by a second comment that simply said "limousine".
At first, nothing seemed that out of the ordinary, however at Bring Me The Horizon's gig in Cardiff, when the band played a video featuring some teasers of NeX GEn material, fans quickly noticed that one of the tracks was called limousine.

Whatever is happening, things have certainly taken a turn for the conspiratory amongst the Bring Me The Horizon fanbase of late, with the band's split with longtime keyboardist Jordan Fish creating a lot of chatter online.
Since Fish's ousting they dropped the much heavier single Kool-Aid and Sykes has been promising NeX GEn will arrive sooner rather than later. Given fans have been waiting since the first NeX GEn track diE4U dropped in 2021, it is hardly surprising that any movement on the project creates considerable hype.
Two of the singles from the record, Darkside and lost are hotly topped by the Hottest 100 prediction site 100 Warm Tunas to make the Hottest 100 when the countdown is held on 27 January. A collaboration with Eilish would be a pretty massive way to officially announce the record release, and the band does have a relationship with the alt-popstar having covered her song When The Party's Over for a BBC 1 radio session. Eilish is also a noted fan of Bring Me The Horizon.
Bring Me The Horizon has a history of delivering winning collaborations, having worked with everyone from Ed Sheeran to Babymetal to Dani Filth and Tom Morello so it would not be surprising if there was smoke to the Billie x Bring Me fire.
Before that, the band is confirmed to tour Australia in April with Sleep Token, Make Them Suffer and Daine.
