A spokesman for the Irish artist’s label Sony Music confirms to Billboard that it is indeed Hozier in the video.
Watch below.
“Take Me to the Church” was an international smash, and a career launching pad for Hozier (full name Andrew Hozier-Byrne). Following its release, the song peaked to No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and the album it was lifted from, Hozier, went to No. 2 on the Billboard 200.
The Irishman went on to collect a pair of Billboard Music Awards in 2015, for top rock song and top rock artist, and he performed “Church” on the night.
His sophomore album from 2019, Wasteland, Baby!, went one better when it bowed at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
