Bring Me The Horizon want a ‘Coronation Street’ cameo.
The band’s bassist Matt Kean is said to be "desperate" to appear on the cobbles, and as a result the group’s representatives have made contact with the ITV soap’s bosses to see if the ‘Sleepwalking’ hitmakers can grace Weatherfield with their presence soon.
A source close to the band said: "Matt has always loved ‘Corrie’ and is desperate for a cameo on the show.
"Their team have reached out to soap bosses to try to make it a reality and think it could be a fun thing for viewers too."
One option for the band could be a scene involving Weatherfield’s new tattoo shop, because the group have a number of inkings between them.
The source added to The Sun newspaper: "The Street got a tattoo shop last year and they suggested a scene linked to that, seeing as they have their fair share of body art."
But Bring Me the Horizon are not the only huge music stars who have an eye on the cobbles.
Last year, Katy Perry admitted she loves catching up with the goings-on in Weatherfield, and ‘EastEnders’, when she is in the UK.
She said: "I am obsessed with this country. I fall in love with the English very easily.
"I like to watch ‘Coronation Street’ and ‘EastEnders’."
Rolling Stones frontman Sir Mick Jagger is also a big ‘Corrie’ fan, and he made a quip about the show’s former serial killer Pat Phelan (Connor McIntyre) during the band’s Old Trafford gig in the city in June.
He told the crowd: "We went to the Northern Quarter. We went down the Curry Mile and I think I saw Pat Phelan. He was eating some papadums!"
