I know you’ve been concerned about a range of worrying heavy metal proposals and today I want to confirm that they’ll never happen.

The proposal that all Radio One listeners should be forced to listen to heavy metal.

I’ve scrapped it.

The proposal that you should be forced to listen to seven different types of heavy metal (thrash, death, black, doom, power, glam, nu).

I’ve scrapped it.

And nor will I ban the New Wave of British Heavy Metal which would simply leave us reliant on rival metal from bands in Scandinavia like Amon Amarth.

What a week. Happy #MetalFriday everyone.
