Darts Player 'Won't Get Invited to Anything' if He Changes Walk-On Song

A darts star claims he 'won't get invited to anything' if he changes his iconic walk-on song.

A walk-on song is a crucial part of a darts players' set-up given it can help create an electric atmosphere ahead of taking to the oche.

Reigning world champion Luke Littler comes out to Pitbull's 'Greenlight', Leeds native Luke Humphries walks out to Kaiser Chiefs' 'I Predict A Riot' and Stephen Bunting enters to David Guetta's 'Titanium'.

Not to mention Nathan Aspinall, who walks out to The Killers' 'Mr. Brightside' in what is a massive crowd pleaser.

Aspinall typically orchestrates the crowd once he makes his way to the oche, with fans singing along to the words in a mighty karaoke session.

Despite 'Mr. Brightside' being an absolute banger of a tune, 'The Asp' wants to mix things up and go with another song - in particular 'Lose Yourself' by Eminem.

But Aspinall jokingly believes he won't get invited to any events if he changes his walk-on song.

"Eminem is my idol, and I absolutely love his music, but I can't change it," he on Sky Sports' Love The Darts podcast

"I was practising in the dance room and Lose Yourself came on in my ear and the beat at the beginning, I thought, 'that could be good'. So we got it edited and I think it sounds amazing to be fair, but it's not been on Sky yet.

"I don't know if they've approved it or not, but at the weekend it sounded brilliant and on the Euro Tour it was great. So yeah, that's staying, but Mr. Brightside is also staying," he added.

"I can't change Mr. Brightside because I won't get invited to anything, no one's ringing me for exhibitions [without it]."

Now, it remains to be seen whether Aspinall, who secured a spot in the Premier League Darts Finals Night this year, would actually not be invited if he changed his walk-on song.

His walk-on to 'Mr. Brightside' has become a popular fixture within darts, so if he did change his song, then, let's be honest, it would be a blow considering the ovation it gets every time.

But, having said that, 'Lose Yourself' is an equally iconic tune and would likely attract a similar reception.
