Elton John hosts star-studded Zoom call with his 'Lockdown Sessions' collaborators
The artists discussed working on "The Lockdown Sessions."
Yes, we're all completely sick of Zoom calls, but maybe we wouldn't mind them so much if we were Zooming with Elton John.
To collectively thank all the artists who participated in his collaboration album "The Lockdown Sessions," John hosted "the ultimate Zoom call" with them.
Stars including Miley Cyrus, Stevie Nicks, Stevie Wonder, Dua Lipa, Brandi Carlile, Eddie Vedder, Charlie Puth, Lil Nas X, Nicki Minaj, Young Thug and more appeared during the four-and-a-half minute call.
During the chat, the artists discussed how honored and thrilled they were to record songs with the legendary artist for "The Lockdown Sessions," while John said the pleasure was mutual.
He called his duet with Stevie Wonder "one of my favorite things ever," and said working with Nicki was on his bucket list.
When the call finally ends, John's sitting alone in his house when none other than Ed Sheeran, wearing a Santa hat, runs into the room. "Did I miss it?" he asks. John, pretending to be ticked off, says, "It's supposed to be on Zoom, and now you're here. Well, now you're here -- I suppose I could squeeze you in..."
Sheeran then snuggles up to John and embraces him, saying, "Merry Christmas, everyone."
"Merry Christmas," replies a mollified John.
John and Sheeran are aiming to have the No. 1 Christmas song in the U.K. with "Sausage Rolls for Everyone," a comical reworking of their song "Merry Christmas" featuring the British duo LadBaby.
The charity song raises money for British food banks.
