Get ready for a musical collaboration that will blow your mind! Ed Sheeran, the master of melodies, teams up with rock legends Dave Grohl and John Mayer for an epic performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live. But here's the twist: they're joined by an all-star cast of musicians, including Blake Slatkin, Rami Jaffee, and Pino Palladino, for a truly unforgettable experience.
The group takes on "Drive," a powerful rock track written for the Brad Pitt film F1. With dual screens displaying clips from the movie, the performance is an immersive journey. Mayer's guitar skills shine as he accompanies Sheeran, while Grohl keeps the beat on drums. And let's not forget the backup singers, adding their harmonious voices to the mix!
"Drive" is just one gem from F1 the Album, released alongside the film in June. This album is a treasure trove of 17 tracks, featuring an impressive lineup of artists like Doja Cat, Burna Boy, and more. Sheeran himself had a blast creating this song with Grohl and Mayer, and it shows in their energetic performance.
Sheeran's latest studio album, Play, dropped in September, and it's a journey through his own personal darkness and back into the light. Recorded in various locations and completed in Goa, India, Play is an album of joy and color, inspired by the cultures Sheeran encountered while touring.
Play is the first in a new series of albums from Sheeran, with Rewind, Fast-Forward, and Stop to follow, continuing his unique naming tradition.
And if that's not enough, Sheeran also graced our screens with a Netflix special, One Shot With Ed Sheeran, directed by Philip Barantini. This short film is a unique glimpse into Sheeran's world, as he strolls through New York City, playing his songs and leaving fans in awe.
