Ed Sheeran and Elton John have unveiled their festive collaboration.
Complete with sleigh bells and choirs, Merry Christmas marks their first single together and arrives with an equally festive Jason Koenig-directed video containing every Christmas cliché you could imagine.
Penned by Sheeran and John, and produced by Steve Mac, the song celebrates the season while remembering "the ones who have gone" during a difficult year. The track is the bookmakers' favourite to top the Christmas chart, but faces competition from Adele and LadBaby.
Sheeran recently announced a one-off benefit concert in London at St. John at Hackney Church on December 13. He will also support his new record with his previously announced The + - = ÷ x Tour (aka The Mathematics Tour) in 2022. Remaining tickets are on sale now.
Earlier this week, Elton John added a second and final Bristol show and two Watford concerts to his Farewell Yellow Brick Road: The Final Tour. Tickets are on sale.
