Elton John Told Ed Sheeran Not to Get Fat
- 7 years ago
Ed Sheeran received some interesting advice from his mentor, Elton John: Don’t get fat.
John recently told Rolling Stone about the advice that he gave the 26-year-old before he went on a trip to the Far East with his girlfriend. The 70-year-old singing legend told the magazine, “One thing I said to him when he went, I said, ‘Don’t put on weight,’ because he’s very prone to put on weight like I am.”
Sheeran apparently didn’t’ really take the sage advice, and instead indulged during his vacation.
John tells Rolling Stone, “And he came back heavy, but he lost it all for the album… He just went away and had a great time. And it was the most brilliant thing he could have done, because it refreshes the soul.”
Thankfully Sheeran still has a 26-year-old metabolism and can shed pounds easily if he wants to. While we’re not sure that Sheeran is thrilled that a legend like Elton John is discussing his weight in magazines, he probably doesn’t care, because it’s pretty cool that Elton John even knows who he is.
