The artists surprised music fans with a special collaboration as they filmed and recorded a cover of the hit love ballad ‘Perfect‘ and titled it as ‘Backstage Rehearsal’.
Sheeran on Friday, gave his Indian fans a perfectly harmonised track to play on loop over the weekend. Sharing a behind-the-scenes video on Instagram, Sheeran expressed his admiration for Arijit, writing, “Rehearsing ‘Perfect’ with @arijitsingh, heard ‘Tum Hi Ho‘ when I was in India this year and fell in love with him as an artist.Such an honour joining him on stage last month.”
The clip shows the two artists rehearsing Sheeran’s hit song backstage and working on harmonizing the track. An excited Arijit even asked Ed if he could pick the high pitch as they practised the song before singing live on-stage at The O2 in London.
