Overview
- Sombr’s team confirmed to Variety that the shove during his BRIT Awards set was scripted as part of the performance and tied to his single Homewrecker.
- While singing Undressed, a man wearing a “Sombr is a homewrecker” T‑shirt rushed the platform, pushed the singer, and was removed by security as Sombr continued into Back to Friends with a band reveal.
- The incident aired during the 2026 ceremony at Manchester’s Co‑op Live, where the artist delivered a televised medley.
- Viewers initially debated whether the moment was genuine, and some later criticized the choice as inappropriate given sensitivities in Manchester, according to NME.
- Host Jack Whitehall joked about security after the performance, and coverage noted Sombr’s nominations for international artist and international song.
