Harry Styles has admitted that he laughed at his grandma’s funeral, but he has a specific reason.
The Grammy-winning singer made a recent appearance on Brittany Broski’s Royal Court, where she brought up Styles’s song “Music for a Sushi Restaurant.” The host then proceeded to ask him what other locations he thinks also deserve to have a song written about them.
In a surprising response, the singer said the crematorium. “I really like cremation songs,” Styles confessed, as Broski and the room erupted in laughter.
The former One Direction member went on to explain how his interest in cremation songs first came about. “I remember being at my grandma’s funeral, and as the belt started, it just went ‘the long and winding road’ (referring to The Beatles song), and it made me laugh,” he recalled.
“It feels so inappropriate because of how abrupt it was,” Styles added. “And then I just started thinking about inappropriate cremation songs. … And then I was off.”
The “As It Was” artist also took a moment to name some of the specific songs on his mind at the time, including Dan Hartman’s “Relight My Fire,” The Trammps “Disco Inferno” and Johnny Cash’s “Ring of Fire.”
Styles’s fourth solo studio album, Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally, is set to be released on March 6. Later this year, he’ll also head out on an extensive world tour, including several residencies around the world.
Elsewhere during his chat with Broski, the “Sign of the Times” singer said, “I had so much fun making this album.”
