Yungblud Rehearsal Photo Sparks Frenzy Among Sleep Token Fans – Is That Sleep Token II on Drums
A recently surfaced rehearsal photo of Yungblud has ignited a frenzy among fans of both the British rocker and the enigmatic band Sleep Token. The image, reportedly taken during soundcheck preparations for Yungblud’s explosive “Back to the Beginning” performance in Birmingham, shows Yungblud mid-song with a shadowy figure seated behind the drum kit. Speculation is rampant that the drummer in the photo is none other than Sleep Token II, the masked percussionist known for his explosive precision and theatrical flair.
The rumor mill kicked off almost instantly after the photo was shared by a Birmingham-based news outlet. While the image is somewhat blurry, the seated drummer’s build, posture, and style of kit setup bear a striking resemblance to Sleep Token’s elusive drummer. Fans on Reddit and X (formerly Twitter) were quick to jump on the theory, dissecting every pixel of the image and comparing it to live Sleep Token footage. One fan commented, “It’s the arm positioning and cymbal spacing for me – that’s 100% ST II.”
The timing only adds fuel to the fire. Yungblud’s set famously included a surprise cover of “Changes” – a performance that stunned audiences with its raw emotional power and genre-bending style. If ST II was indeed behind the drums, it marks a rare crossover appearance, as Sleep Token members are notoriously secretive and rarely perform outside their own band.
Though there has been no official confirmation from either Yungblud’s team or the Sleep Token camp, fans are already calling this an “iconic crossover moment.” Whether true or not, the buzz surrounding the photo only adds to the mystique of both acts—and the internet is eating it up.
