Ed Sheeran’s manager Stuart said he’d retire if Ed made a Christmas Song

Ed Sheeran released his new holiday collaboration with Elton John “Merry Christmas”. Elton first reached out to him to propose doing a Christmas song, why he never thought he would make one at this stage in his career.

Ed Sheeran said “When Elton rang me and said, “Let’s do a Christmas song.” I was like, “There’s no point doing a Christmas song because there are so many great ones out there. If we’re going to do it, we have to chuck the kitchen sink at it and it has to tick every single box. It has sleigh bells… It has to be ding-dong church bells, it has to be mistletoe, dancing and wine.” I’ve never actually thought of making a Christmas song. It’s always been the type of thing that I thought I’d do when I was 60. It was, basically, my manager Stuart said he’d retire if I ever made a Christmas album… but to be honest, if it wasn’t with Elton, I wouldn’t be doing it. I’ve always wanted to work with him and this made the most sense said Ed Sheeran in an Interview.
