Edward Christopher Sheeran, MBE (born 17 February 1991) is an English singer-songwriter. In early 2011, Sheeran independently released the extended play, No. 5 Collaborations Project. After signing with Asylum Records, his debut album, + (pronounced "plus"), was released in September 2011. It topped the UK and Australian charts, reached number five in the US, and has since been certified eight-times platinum in the UK.
The album contains the single "The A Team", which earned him the Ivor Novello Award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically. In 2012, Sheeran won the Brit Awards for Best British Male Solo Artist and British Breakthrough Act. "The A Team" was nominated for Song of the Year at the 2013 Grammy Awards, where he performed the song with Elton John.
Ed Sheeran and Elton John have released their brand-new, highly anticipated Christmas single. Merry Christmas was co-written by the pair and is an ode to the best bits about the festive season - kissing under the mistletoe, raising a toast and playing in the snow.
As if that wasn't festive enough, the track's music video pays homage to scenes from classic Christmas music videos and films.
Mr Blobby, Jonathan Ross, Big Narstie, Michael McIntyre and The Darkness all make cameos and reinvent scenes from Wham’s Last Christmas, Shakin’ Stevens’ Merry Christmas, The Snowman’s Walking in the Air, East 17’s Stay Another Day and more.
