Ed Sheeran says Elton John 'calls him everyday'

Ed Sheeran has revealed how solid his friendship with Elton John is.

Following the news that he tested positive for Covid-19, the singer said that the 74-year-old has been there for him as he calls him every single day.

Speaking on a virtual interview on Apple Music's First Listen, the star shared how reliable Elton has been.

"I think people think I'm exaggerating and lying when I say he calls every day," Sheeran told host Zane Lowe. 

"He calls me every single morning. Even if it's like 10 seconds, every single morning he calls."

Ed said that the tradition kicked off when his friend and mentor Muchael Gudinski passed away in March.

"When Michael passed away, he rung me the day after to check how I was, and I really wasn't good," he said of John. 

"And then just from that point he's literally ringing me every single day."
