Ed Sheeran and Elton John share fun behind-the-scenes video for their 'Merry Christmas' music video

If you've ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes of a Christmas music video, Ed Sheeran is letting us in on the secret ...

Posting to YouTube, the British singer-songwriter has shared footage of all the fun he and his pal Sir Elton John got up to while recording the video for their new festive song, 'Merry Christmas.'

The two musicians have been friends for years - with Sheeran signed to Elton's management company, Rocket.

All proceeds from this year's Christmas period of 'Merry Christmas' will go to the Ed Sheeran Suffolk Music Foundation and Elton John Aids Foundation.
