Ed Sheeran explained the incident: “I’m dressed up as sort of s*xy Santa Claus, and I kick a present, but the present had a big metal bell on top of it.” He continued, “I showed him the footage of it today because we slowed it down and the bell flew past his head and would’ve cracked him in the head. Oh my God, the horror that went through my body when it was flying through the air.”
Sir Elton John did not want Ed Sheeran to open up about their musical collaboration, Merry Christmas. John wanted to eclipse a YouTuber in the UK who released three songs about sausage rolls that became hits during Christmas. As per Showbiz Cheatsheet in a report by NME, John said, “We’ve got LadBaby to deal with! Once we bump him off, we might have a clear path to a hit record. He seems to have the monopoly on Christmas records. And good for him!”
Ed Sheeran and Sir Elton John’s Merry Christmas was at No. 66 on the Billboard Hot 100.
