British singer, Ed Sheeran set to feature on Fireboy DML’s Peru (Remix)

Elton John will be joined by Ed Sheeran on Apple Music 1’s Rocket Hour this weekend to discuss the release of the pair’s brand-new Christmas single, ‘Merry Christmas.’

Ed and Elton discuss how they first decided to collaborate on a holiday song, as well as how he introduced his daughter to Black Sabbath over daily “vinyl breakfasts,” teases details of his new remix of Fireboy DML’s “Peru,” shares why Brandi Carlile’s song “Mother” means so much to him, and more during their conversation.

Sheeran explains how he came to collaborate with Fireboy, saying:
“So I got sent this a week ago, to remix it. Someone, a friend of mine, Jamal [Edwards] who runs SBTV sent it to me.

“Fireboy DML would love you on the remix of this song.” And I’ve just found it really intriguing. So I recorded a verse for it… and it’s a song that’s blowing up in Nigeria and Ghana at the moment and their club scene runs over Christmas.

“So you basically put a song to the club in the middle of December, which would seem a weird thing to do in England. But yeah, so I’ve done the remix for this song, but this is the original and it’s just, it’s an earworm, and it’s addictive, and I’m obsessed with it. I mean, Cherry will tell you, I’ve had this song on repeat constantly in the house for the last week.”
