SuRie was announced as the British act for the 2018 contest on 7 February 2018, after being selected to represent the United Kingdom on Eurovision: You Decide. As the United Kingdom is a member of the Big Five, SuRie directly qualified for and performed in the final of the Eurovision Song Contest on 12 May 2018.[3]
During her performance of the song at the final, SuRie's microphone was taken by a stage invader, who then yelled into the microphone "modern Nazis of the UK media, we demand freedom, war is not peace", before being dragged offstage by security and taken into custody shortly afterwards. She was given the opportunity to perform again by the EBU but declined, stating that she was proud of her performance."[4][5]
