Covering a classic is a daunting task for any artist, and this one just happens to be the best-selling song of all time.

Ed Sheeran has covered Sir Elton John's seminal 'Candle in the Wind' for the latter's brand new tribute album Revamp.

You can see Ed talk about Elton's music and hear a snippet of the cover version in the video above, or you can listen to the whole thing via Spotify below:

Ed's version is a tad more jauntier than the original, and sounds like a typically perfect ballad that he has become so well known for.

Revamp - which is released today (March 6) also features covers by the likes of Sam Smith, Coldplay and Florence + the Machine.

Last week, Lady Gaga unveiled her own cover of 'Your Song', saying it was "an honour" to perform such a classic love song.

Meanwhile, there will also be a second covers album titled Restoration, featuring a host of country artists including Chris Stapleton and Little Big Town.
