Ed and Elton team up for instant Christmas hit

Something for everyone in this official music video for the Ed Sheeran and Elton John 'Merry Christmas' duet - Ed goes flying with a snowman while Elton gets the glitter on in a visual extravaganza to lift spirits all round. What do you think of the all-out theatricals from the top-selling English singer-songwriters? Is this an instant classic that will be warming hearts for decades to come, or a little too 'instant' for your taste? Sheeran, 30, took a back seat during Covid to adjust to life as a father, but appeared to be making a sparkling comeback as the music industry itself revived. Long-standing favourite Elton John, 74, pulls out all the stops with his piano virtuosity and trademark flamboyance in the campaign. Both musicians are multimillionaires, with their 2021 worth valued at $200 million (Ed Sheeran) and $500 million (Elton John). Immediate reactions to the pacey 'Merry Christmas' number - which acknolwedges the suffering and sadness of the Covid crisis but says it's time to put that behind us - seem to have been largely favourable.
