Grime star Stormzy made a surprise appearance on stage with Ed Sheeran for an unexpected collaboration at the Brit Awards.
As Ed performed his number one hit Shape Of You at the star-studded ceremony, Stormzy stepped on stage to add a verse of his own.

People called for the Shape Of You remix to be released officially while others shared confusion over why it was not Yxng Bane โ who starred in an impressive remix of the song last month โ to join Ed on stage.
Nah I really enjoyed that Ed/Stormzy mash up. Can you make that a bonus track on the album please? @edsheeran @Stormzy1

Among the other artists to perform at the ceremony at the O2 Arena in London, were Little Mix, Robbie Williams, Skepta and Katy Perry โ who stirred the audience with a politically charged performance of Chained To The Rhythm.
