Gerwyn Price changes his darts walk-on song and fans say it's the 'worst ever'

Darts fans have slated Gerwyn Price after the Welsh star changed his walk-on music yet again.

While their main concern is winning matches, in recent years darts players have started to give greater consideration to their walk-on music.

While partly for show and to get the crowd going, some players that certain songs get them in the zone and focus on the task at hand.

One many who knows a thing or two about walk-on songs is Gerwyn Price, but arguably because he changes his too often.

On Thursday Price lost 6-4 to Michael Smith on the second night of the betMGM Premier League in Berlin, but it wasn't the Welshman's performance that fans were disappointed with.

Price emerged for the contest to the sound of Gerry Cinnamon's 'Belter', the latest in a long line of songs he has adopted.

"Congratulations to Price for the worst walk on song ever used in any sport, ever," one fan commented on X, formerly Twitter.

Another complained: "Gerwyn Price needs to sort the walk on music, cant be dropping Gerry Cinnamon pre game," while a third admitted: "Getting harder and harder to support Gerwyn Price with these walk-on song changes."

For a long time Price walked out to Vanilla Ice’s 'Ice Ice Baby', before he changed to Journey's 'Don't Stop Believin'.

In 2022 the Iceman walked out to pop hit 'Roar' by Katy Perry. Explaining the decision at the time, Price said: "I was just driving home with the family after we'd been out for a meal in Cardiff and 'Roar' came on.

"We were all singing along to it and I liked the beat of the music, so I thought 'why not make the change?'

"I listened to the lyrics and I think they suit me and my game, hopefully it can give me a good fresh start in the Premier League."

Price will be disappointed with his loss to Smith, especially as he lost to the same opponent a week earlier in the week one final on home turf in Cardiff.

In the week two final, Michael van Gerwen survived two match darts to beat Luke Littler 6-5 in Berlin.
