Ed Sheeran fulfills Hobbit dream

Category: Ibiza Spain

Earlier this year while partying at a mate's wedding in Ibiza, Spain, Ed Sheeran looked down at his phone and saw an email from New Zealand director Peter Jackson.

It was 4am and the 22-year-old Englishman struggled to focus.

"I was off my face drunk," Sheeran, during an interview at the Beverly Hilton Hotel recently, told AAP.

"There was a lot of champagne and champagne gets me drunk quite quickly.

"I looked at the email. It was like a dream. I didn't process.

"Then I put my phone away and continued partying."

It wasn't until a bleary-eyed Sheeran woke up late the next day he recalled the email.

"I read it again and said, 'Shit!'," Sheeran said.

"I told my manager and he said, 'Shit!'"

Jackson was looking for an artist to write and perform a song for when the credits roll at the end of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, the second chapter of the Kiwi director's three-part adaptation of JRR Tolkien's fantasy-adventure tale.
