Ed Sheeran: 'Elton John and I speak every week'

Ed Sheeran has revealed that Elton John is mentoring him.

The 'A Team' singer, who was nominated for four Brit Awards last week, told The Sun that the pop legend is "very involved" in his career.



Sheeran said: "I speak to Elton on a weekly basis. He's very involved. I got a talk from him after the Brits nominations.

"He's overseas at the moment but left me an answerphone message. He said I've smashed it so hard and good luck."

He added: "It's always good to hear from Elton. He's a lovely guy and is very passionate about the music. He wants me to be huge all over the world, and I'm up for that too."
