'Drive': Ed Sheeran rocks it for F1 movie

English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran, 34, steps right out onto the racetrack to deliver 'Drive', from his about-to-be-released released F1: The Album. The SFX extravaganza is timed to coincide with the cinema release of Brad Pitt's new, um, vehicle, 'F1: The Movie', in which the sixty-something screen star plays a racing driver who comes out of retirement to help out an old buddy (Javier Bardem) and a new hotshot driver (Damson Idris) with a Formula One team. Sheeran's team, as reported by Billboard, includes "Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl on drums, Pino Palladino on bass, Rami Jaffee on keyboards, and Slatkin on additional keyboards and drum programming to round out a notable ensemble of musicians". Gor those of us who didn't know, it's interesting to hear that Sheeran loves films: “Movies are my hobby and probably the only thing other than sport that I get, like, starstruck to be part of. Not just directors or actors or whatever, but being a part of the journey of a movie is so exciting for me.” Sheeran fans are loving the rock vibe of the 'Drive' track.
