Personal Life

Since the age of 12, Oliver Sykes has suffered sleep paralysis, which causes him to be unable to speak or move when he is about to fall asleep.

After watching an online video about animal cruelty when he was 16 years old, Sykes converted to vegetarianism. “When I witnessed how animals are tormented on factory farms, I couldn’t accept being a part of that cruelty,” she says.

Then, through his Drop Dead Clothing business, he became one of PETA’s spokespersons, creating charitable T-shirts with the slogan “Meat Sucks.”

At the age of 16, he turned vegetarian, and then 15 years later, he went vegan. His 2018 business, “Church,” an arcade bar on Sheffield’s Kelham Island with completely vegan fare, may have made his love of veganism clear.

Sykes declares, “I have no belief in God. I am an atheist. He pleaded with me to have faith in him while I wasn’t feeling well. I was unable to understand why I needed a god or, more precisely, something that doesn’t exist”.

He said, “In my opinion, believing in God is not a victimless crime,” in a 2013 interview with Radio.com. Not that I’m right and everyone else is wrong—far from it. If those who believe in God had no impact on the world, it wouldn’t matter.

Then you are free to adopt any belief system you want, even that of a flying friend in your imagination. The world is in turmoil, at least in part, because of religion, and it has an effect on other people and things.

When Oliver Sykes won Album of the Year at the first Alternative Press Music Awards in 2014, he opened up about his background of misuse and addiction to ketamine.

He said to the audience,  “My band wanted to murder me, my parents wanted to kill me, and my fucking brother wanted to kill me,” he said, adding, “I went to rehab for a month, and you guys were sending me messages and e-mails.” I didn’t want to yell when I walked out of that treatment; I wanted to sing from the rooftops.”

On July 12, 2015, Oliver Sykes married tattoo artist and model Hannah Pixie Snowdon in Tuscany, Italy. 2016 saw the news of Sykes’ divorce from Snowdon.

In May 2019, Sykes stated that Snowdon’s adultery was the reason their relationship has ended and referred to her as his “ex-wife.”

Although Snowdon admits to being unfaithful, he also charges Sykes with abuse and infidelity. The couple’s love worked as the inspiration for the band’s 2019 song “Medicine.”

Sykes married Alissa Salls, a Brazilian beauty, on July 22, 2017. In March 2021, Sykes shared an Instagram photo stating that he and his wife had stayed in Brazil throughout the pandemic, that he now had a CPF number, and that they had bought a home in the rural So Paulo state city of Taubaté, where they were living.

Career

Oliver Sykes entered tas English music industry in 2001 With the formation of his metal band “Bring me the Horizon”. The band soon found success thanks to its passionate progressive rock beats and presentation, which was novel at the time. Audiences responded well to their 2004 demo CD “Bedroom Sessions,” and they followed it with the extended play “This is What the Edge of Your Seat Was Made For.”

The band spent nearly two years creating their first studio album, “Count your Blessings,” which was eventually published in 2006. After receiving positive feedback from the public and reviewers for their debut album, the band wasted little time in getting ready for their follow-up while keeping themselves busy with tours and concerts.

Oliver and his bandmates decided to record their second studio album, “Suicide Season,” in Sweden. In September 2008, it was made available in the US and Europe, and the band actively marketed it online and on tour. The band released a remixed version of their second studio album in November 2009 under the title “Suicide Season: Cut up,” which included many well-known performers.

However, early in 2009, the band’s guitarist Curtis Ward quit for a number of personal and professional reasons, briefly jeopardizing the group’s survival. While they searched for a replacement guitarist, the band continued to tour and perform while experimenting with several players.

There is a Hell, Believe me, I have seen it, there is a Heaven, Let’s Keep it a Secret, the band’s third studio album was then published in 2010. The album opened at the top of the Australian Albums Chart, reached position 17 on the US Billboard 200 Chart, and topped the UK Independent Chart. The band continued to tour around Europe to promote the album and recruited “Bullet for my Valentine” to serve as their primary support act. The album garnered favorable reviews from critics, and several well-known music publications commended the gothic themes.

Their fifth studio album, “Sempiternal,” was released in 2015. Their musical influences were international, and they began touring in the US and Australia, where Oli and his band had a sizable fan base. They began gaining insane fame as a result of their strange lyrics and flawlessly original presentational approach.

Oliver started working on his long-time desire of launching his own clothing brand, which he finally completed under the name of “Drop Dead Clothing,” and which proved to be a reasonably successful endeavor, aside from music and touring. The alternative apparel and accessory brand eventually expanded beyond the limits of the UK and began gaining popularity globally. As of right now, it is a well-established company with global shipping.

When Oliver started a campaign for his graphic novel, “Raised by Raptors,” it was clear that he had a talent for writing and drawing. With one of his clothing line’s designers, Oliver intended to do that. The campaign reached its 15,000-pound goal within a few weeks of starting, and ultimately raised more than double that amount.
