Pop star George Ezra cut a lyric about dying from one of his songs while performing at the Platinum Party at the Palace.
The song-writer performed his hit song Green Grass to a star studded audience on Saturday, June, 4, to celebrate the Queen's historic 70 years on the throne.
BBC viewers caught on quickly, as they noticed the lyric had been omitted when George crooned the chorus, which usually sings: “Green green grass, blue blue sky, you better throw a party on the day that I die."
Instead, the chorus ended at "you better throw a party" and finished with an instrumental.
Viewers took to Twitter to have their say, reported Manchester Evening News.
@afcwomblelong said: "Should have just sang 'on the day I eat pie'" @KernowLeeds22 tweeted: "George Ezra self editing 'better throw a party on the day that I die' for the 96 year old queen’s Jubilee is pretty hilarious not going to lie."
@PINKSUZIQ72 said: "I’m sorry Craig David can sing about s*****g his mrs 6 days a week but George Ezra can’t sing about having a party when you die."
@islandniles gasped: "Oh my GOD, they’ve edited this George Ezra song because the main lyric is 'you’d better throw a party on the day that I die.' Why didn’t he just do a different song?" Roushan Alam tweeted: "Never saw George Ezra’s Green Green Grass being the most censored song of the evening."
@Katy agreed: "We had a few songs I thought they might have vetoed for raunchiness for the royals, but you're right George Ezra not what I thought would be censored." And @leahnicoIe commented: "Big lol. Is @george_ezra not actually allowed to sing 'on the day that I die' ???"
Queen and Adam Lambert, Alicia Keys, Ella Eyre, Craig David, Mabel, Elbow, Duran Duran, Andrea Bocelli, Sam Ryder, Celeste, Nile Rodgers and Diversity were also among the performers paying tribute to Her Majesty’s special anniversary watched by members of the royal family.
To kick off the concert the Queen rocked out to Queen with Paddington Bear in an adorable sketch. The animated children's character was seen having tea with Her Majesty and they both confessed to carrying around a marmalade sandwich.
The Queen was unable to attend the Saturday night party but, in a two-and-a-half minute sketch reminiscent of the James Bond surprise in 2012 when she played herself opposite Daniel Craig to 'parachute' into the Olympic Games, she revealed her sense of humour.
The clumsy bear showed Her Majesty what he hides underneath his hat - one of his beloved marmalade sandwiches. And the Queen confided "so do I" as she opened her handbag and said: “I keep mine in here.”
The Peruvian bear congratulated the Queen saying: "Happy Jubilee Ma’am. And thank you for everything.” And she replied: “That’s very kind.”
