DURING THE 2021 CHRISTMAS PERIOD, ED SHEERAN\u2019S AND ELTON JOHN\u2019S GLOBAL RECORD AND PUBLISHING ROYALTIES FROM THE SINGLE & PROFITS FROM SALES OF THE SINGLE WILL BE DONATED EQUALLY BETWEEN THE ED SHEERAN SUFFOLK MUSIC FOUNDATION & THE ELTON JOHN AIDS FOUNDATION<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two of the world\u2019s biggest recording artists, Ed Sheeran and Elton John, ring in the festive season with their all-new charity single \u2018Merry Christmas\u2019<\/em>, available now across all platforms (listen here<\/a>). The track, released today on Asylum\/Atlantic, is also joined by their fun-filled Jason Koenig-directed accompanying official video: (watch here<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Merry Christmas\u2019 provides us with the perfect dose of Christmas cheer – packed with sleigh bells, uplifting arrangements and joyous harmonies, the song is topped by Ed and Elton\u2019s heart-warming lyrics that only add to its festive sparkle: \u201cSo kiss me under the mistletoe \/ Pour out the wine let\u2019s toast and pray for December snow \/ I know there\u2019s been pain this year but it\u2019s time to let it go \/ Next year you never know, but for now, Merry Christmas.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Written by Ed Sheeran\/Elton John and produced by Steve Mac, the blockbuster collaboration cements a 10+ year friendship and it sees the global superstars join forces for the first-ever time on an official single release. However, this isn\u2019t the pairs\u2019 first foray into festive music releases – in 2017, Sheeran secured the coveted UK Christmas No.1 with his timeless ballad \u2018Perfect\u2019<\/em>, whilst Elton\u2019s 1973 classic, \u2018Step Into Christmas\u2019<\/em>, has gone onto become one of the most rotated Christmas songs of all time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The official video for \u2018Merry Christmas\u2019<\/em> – scripted by Jason Koenig, Jenny Koenig and Ed Sheeran \u2013 adds further tinsel as it pays homage to scenes from legacy Number 1 Christmas music videos and iconic Christmas films. With a little help from Mr Blobby, Jonathan Ross, Big Narstie, Michael McIntyre and The Darkness, who all cameo throughout (!), we see the cast reinvent scenes from Wham\u2019s \u2018Last Christmas\u2019; Shakin\u2019 Stevens\u2019 \u2018Merry Christmas\u2019; The Snowman\u2019s \u2018Walking in the Air\u2019; East 17\u2019s \u2018Stay Another Day\u2019 and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the 2021 Christmas period, Ed Sheeran\u2019s and Elton John\u2019s global record and publishing royalties from the single and profits from sales of the single will be donated equally between the Ed Sheeran Suffolk Music Foundation & The Elton John AIDS Foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About Ed Sheeran<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ed Sheeran is an era-defining artist who has sold over 45 million albums and 150 million singles across the world. Through his fusion of thought-provoking songwriting, universal pop and multi-genre influence, his rich tapestry is not only perfectly suited to his audience but it\u2019s something that transcends generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since surfacing on the UK circuit in 2010 with his \u2018No.5 Collaborations Project\u2019 \u2013 an eight-track EP featuring his favourite grime artists of the time \u2013 the Suffolk-raised recording artist has resonated with fans across the world through his peerless songcraft and versatility. And now, with five consecutive UK No.1 albums to his name \u2013 \u2018+\u2019 (2011), \u2018x\u2019 (2014), \u2018\u00f7\u2019 (2017) and \u2018No.6 Collaborations Project\u2019 (2019) and \u2018=\u2019 (2021) \u2013 Sheeran continues to reaffirm his status as one of the most in-demand pop stars on the planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prior to the release of his brand-new album \u2018=\u2019, which was released in October this year, Sheeran secured two UK No.1 singles in the UK with \u2018Bad Habits<\/em>\u2019 [the UK\u2019s biggest-selling No.1 of the year so far] and \u2018Shivers<\/em>\u2019 \u2013 two tracks that sat atop the UK\u2019s Official Singles Chart for a combined total of 15 weeks. Moreover, in the short window since its release, \u2018=\u2019 has sold over 1.5 million copies across the globe and has already seen Ed take home 2 x EMA\u2019s for \u2018Best Artist\u2019 and \u2018Best Song\u2019; an American Music Awards for \u2018Favourite Male Pop Artist\u2019; British GQ\u2019s \u2018Solo Artist of the Year\u2019; 4 x Los40 Awards and secure a nomination for \u2018Song of the Year\u2019 at the 2022 GRAMMY\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it\u2019s not just his recorded music that\u2019s seen the former Glastonbury headliner become one of the sought-after artists of the 21st<\/sup> century either. Possessing a mystical ability to turn 90,000 capacity venues into the pub back-rooms that he first started playing in, Ed made history in 2015 after becoming the first-ever artist to play Wembley Stadium solo – without a band and with just his guitar and loop pedal – over three, consecutive sold out nights. Move forward to the summer of 2019 and Ed would re-enter history books after the completion of his mammoth two-year Divide tour, officially becoming the most-attended tour of all time<\/em> after it culminated with special homecoming shows in Ipswich, Suffolk. Next year, Ed will set-off on the road again for his \u2018+ – = \u00f7 x Tour\u2019 (pronounced \u2018The Mathematics Tour\u2019), that\u2019ll see him return to Wembley Stadium for a five-night run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ed Sheeran – who was awarded an MBE for his services to music and charity in 2017 – is the proud recipient of 1 x IFPI Award (best-selling global artist of 2017); 4 x Grammys; 4 x Ivor Novello\u2019s; 6 x BRIT Awards (including two consecutive wins for \u2018Global Success\u2019 in 2018 and 2019); 7 x Billboard Awards + more. Moreover, to this day, his blockbusting third studio album \u2018\u00f7\u2019 remains the fastest-selling album, ever, by a male artist in the UK, while the LP\u2019s lead single, \u2018Shape of You\u2019<\/em>, maintains its status as the most-streamed song in Spotify\u2019s history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of 2019, Sheeran was presented with the Official Chart Company\u2019s first-ever<\/strong> \u2018No.1 Artist of the Decade\u2019<\/strong> award<\/strong> following a host of accomplishments in his native UK including the most No.1\u2019s across the UK\u2019s Official Singles and Albums chart from the years 2010-2019. Most recently, Ed scored another feat with the OCC after becoming the first British Solo Artist to claim 52 weeks \u2013 an entire year \u2013 at No.1 on the Official UK Singles Chart, with only Elvis Presley and The Beatles achieving more overall weeks at the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About Elton John<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elton\u2019s career achievements to date are unsurpassed in their breadth and longevity. Elton is one of the top-selling solo artists of all time. In the UK and US charts alone he has 1 diamond, 32 platinum or multi-platinum, and 21 gold albums as well as over 70 Top 40 hits. He has sold more than 300 million records worldwide.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>He holds the record for the biggest-selling single of all time, \u201cCandle in the Wind 1997\u201d, which sold over 33 million copies. Released in 2017 \u2018Diamonds\u2019 the Ultimate Greatest Hits album, became Elton\u2019s 40th UK Top 40 album and has spent over 200 consecutive weeks in the top 75 of the UK album charts, over 110 of these in the top 20. This release celebrated 50 years of his songwriting partnership with Bernie Taupin. August 2018 saw Elton named as the most successful male solo artist in Billboard Hot 100 chart history, having logged 67 entries, including nine No. 1s and 27 Top 10s. \u2018The Lockdown Sessions\u2019, an album of collaborations recorded during the COVID-19 Pandemic, was released in October 2021 and went straight to number 1 in the UK album Charts, becoming Elton\u2019s 8th UK number 1 album in the process. It\u2019s lead single \u201cCold Heart (PNAU Remix) with Dua Lipa\u201d became a bona fide global hit, reaching number 1 in the UK and Australian singles charts. Its success meant that Elton became the first ever solo artist to score a UK Top 10 hit single in 6 consecutive decades. In America, he holds the record for longest span between Billboard top 40 hits at 50 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elton announced the \u2018Farewell Yellow Brick Road\u2019 tour at New York\u2019s Gotham Hall in January 2018. Encompassing 5 continents, and over 350 dates, this 5-year-long tour started in September 2018 and marks his retirement from touring after more than 50 years on the road. In 2019 it was named Billboard’s Top Rock Tour and Pollstar\u2019s Major Tour Of The Year. To date, Elton has delivered more than 4,000 performances in more than 80 countries since launching his first tour in 1970. 2019 also saw the release of \u2018Rocketman\u2019 and global bestselling autobiography, \u2018ME\u2019. An epic fantasy musical motion picture of Elton\u2019s life, ‘Rocketman’ has been a commercial and critical hit, taking close to $200m at the box office. It has won an Oscar, two Golden Globe Awards and a Critics\u2019 Choice Award and garnered BAFTA nominations. Its soundtrack was also nominated for a GRAMMY Award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the many awards and honours bestowed upon him are six GRAMMYs, including a GRAMMY Legend award, a Tony and two Oscars, a Best British Male Artist BRIT Award, induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame, the Kennedy Center Honor, Legend of Live Award, 13 Ivor Novello Awards between 1973 and 2001 and a knighthood from HM Queen Elizabeth II for \u201cservices to music and charitable services\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1992, Elton established the Elton John AIDS Foundation, which today is one of the leading non-profit HIV\/AIDS organizations and has raised over $515 million to date in the global fight against HIV\/AIDS. In June 2019 President Emmanuel Macron presented Elton the L\u00e9gion d\u2019honneur, France\u2019s highest award, for his lifetime contribution to the arts and the fight against HIV\/AIDS. Elton was awarded the Companion of Honour in the 2021 New Year Honours list. The highest acknowledgement in the list, Elton became one of only 64 people to hold the honour. September 2019 saw The Royal Mail issue a set of 12 stamps as a tribute to Elton being one of the most popular and enduring music artists of all time. Elton was only the second individual music artist to be featured in a dedicated stamp issue. In July 2020 the Royal Mint released an Elton John commemorative coin, the second in their music legends series to celebrate ‘one of the most successful and enduring artists of all time’. Always a tireless champion of new artists, Elton has been a leading industry voice in lobbying the government for young artists visa-free touring rights in Europe post Brexit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
