Ed Sheeran appeared as the musical guest on an episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! this week – and he brought along a few famous friends.

The pop megastar invited Dave Grohl, Blake Slatkin, Rami Jaffee, Pino Palladino and John Mayer to join him onstage for a performance of Drive from F1 The Movie – all of whom appear on the original studio version of the 2025 track.

In a recent interview with Variety, Blake revealed of getting Dave behind the kit for the song: “We had recorded a different drummer on it before, and when we had the different drums as a demo, we went back and forth on, is the song too slow? Is the tempo weird? And the second Dave played it, it was like, ‘Oh, this is perfect.’”
