Elton John and Ed Sheeran are hoping to secure their place atop the UK charts this Christmas with the help of LadBaby.
The duo recently released their holiday hit Merry Christmas, but they’re now putting all their festive hopes on a remake – Sausage Rolls For Christmas – with the chart-topping pair.
LadBaby, featuring Mark and Roxanne Hoyle, have topped the charts over the holidays for the past three years, with We Built This City, I Love Sausage Rolls and Don’t Stop Me Eatin’, and now they’re looking to better the Spice Girls’ record with a fourth consecutive No. 1.
100 per cent of profits from the song will go to food bank charity the Trussell Trust to support their campaign to end food hunger in the UK.
“We always said we’d only go for a fourth number one if we could make it bigger and raise even more money for the Trussell Trust,” they said.
“We approached Ed and Elton with an idea to do something that had never been done: to combine the music world with the social media world and join forces to make a difference to the people in the UK that need it most!
“Ed and Elton are pop royalty and they’ve both had huge success at Christmas, so we’re honoured and excited to be coming together to help families this Christmas and bring back some true Christmas spirit with the power of sausage rolls!
“No-one should go to bed hungry but today, far too many do. Can you imagine being forced into impossible decisions like heating your home or feeding your children? Help us make history!
“We HAVE to do whatever it takes to build a future where all of us can afford to go to sleep with a full stomach.”
Ed added: “I’m proud to be supporting and featuring on LadBaby’s very fun rework of Merry Christmas.
“All profits will be donated to The Trussell Trust which is a very wonderful and important charity, so make sure you stream it, buy it and play it on repeat.”
The Trussell Trust provides emergency food parcels to people living in crisis and is expected to hand out more than 7.000 emergency food parcels a day this December.
The single will be released on December 17.
