The Wanted

So, the Odd Future/The Wanted collaboration the world has been clamouring for has now happened. Not a studio project, but rather Tyler’s prank on the ‘Glad You Came’ heartthrobs as part of his guest hosting spot on MTV’s ‘Punk’d’, the set-up for which sees the Brit boyband detained by fake police officers under false pretences.

We already knew The Wanted – the serious pop group who don’t go in for tacky TV promotions – would appear on MTV’s prank show. And also that the new series would have guest pranksters. The Tyler/Wanted tie up has been confirmed by a new clip that has emerged online. “They’re big in the UK, but this is their first time in America. And I’m about to fuck that up”, Tyler tells the ‘Punk’d’ cameras, later observing of a mystery The Wanted member: “He’s about to cry”.

Oh dear, I suspected this might end in tears. See a preview of the episode in question, which airs in the UK this summer, here.
