And now, it’s happened again.

Yesterday, Huffington Post UK published an article about British artists making it big overseas entitled Brits Blitz: The Surprise Stars Flying the Flag in Music.

The likes of Florence and the Machine, Mumford and Sons, Ed Sheeran and Sam Smith all garnered mentions on the list.

As did Hozier.

Yes, the website lumped the Wicklow man in with “quiet Brits SMASHING it overseas” and people were not one bit happy.

Whoops!

Following the uproar, Huffington Post erased all mentions of Hozier from the article and apologised for including him in the first place.
