I have to say congratulations.
You were nominated for two Grammys.
[APPLAUSE]
And I also have to say, I am outraged
that you were not nominated for Album of the Year
or Song of the Year.
How "Shape"-- I cannot believe that that was not nominated
for Song of the Year.
I mean--
I think-- my outlook on it is, some years you have your year,
and some years you don't have your year.
And maybe this year isn't my year.
Well, that song did not leave my head.
I mean ever.
But that's the point.
That's where you win.
That's where the validation comes from, where you actually
see people-- genuine people-- enjoying
the songs and stuff like that.
Yeah, yeah.
[APPLAUSE]
I'd rather have a lifetime of people coming up to me
and saying, "This song affects me in this way,
in a positive way," and "This song is my wedding song,"
"This song was my first kiss" than anything else.
I think that's where the validation comes.
But thank you.
Well, you're a very well-adjusted person.
So, in "Perfect," the song that you just did,
you said that's your favorite song?
Yeah, it is.
Why is that?
D'you know what?
It was one of the fastest songs that I'd written, and had
just kind of come out.
And it was the first song I wrote for the album,
and I'm still not really sick of it.
I still listen to it and like it.
And we're putting out a remix of it with Beyonce.
It's just come out.
Oh really?
Wow.
Which is exciting.
Which is one of those things--
I did it, and the song came out so long
ago in the scheme of music now, music kind of goes so fast.
And I was like, "I want to do as a single."
And then I thought of a way of relaunching it,
and I was like, "Oh, I love Beyonce.
Shall I ask Beyonce?"
And in my head, I was like, "She's gonna say no."
And then I was like, "Well, you might as well ask."
And she said yeah, so here we are.
Wow.
That's gonna be amazing.
[APPLAUSE]
And is it about your girlfriend?
It is, yeah, yeah.
I'm so happy that you're happy.
So you've been with your girlfriend for how long now?
Almost three years.
That's fantastic.
I'm very happy for you.
Yeah, we went to high school together.
Yeah.
She's-- I know.
Yeah, she's really cool.
We live together, we have cats.
They're really cool.
We just got a Christmas tree, put that up.
How many cats do you have?
We've got two cats.
But they're both really, really, really strange creatures.
Why?
I dunno, it's kind of like they don't have any--
they do have ribs, but they kind of sit like humans.
Like this, they'll sit up like this.
With their legs like-- it's really strange.
That's adorable.
Like you'll walk in and they'll just be looking at
you like that.
You need to-- are you Instagramming them?
Because that's actually really funny.
Yeah, yeah, I have, yeah.
They should have their own Instagram account.
They should, yeah, they should.
Yeah.
What are their names?
Calippo and Dorito.
Well, that's why.
You've named them--
Dorito's got all little orange "doritos."
Uh huh.
Yeah.
And the other one?
Oh man, I don't--
Well, Calippo in England is an ice cream.
Like an iced, iced flavored thing.
Yeah.
Ice pop.
Yeah.
So yeah, thought I'd call her that.
Hey, tell me what happened to you.
I saw pictures of you with broken arms and things.
What happened?
I was cycling to the pub.
It was my--
You were on your way to the pub?
Yeah, yeah.
Or on your way from the pub?
No, no.
This is the weird thing, right.
I had two days off, I'd just shot the "Perfect" video,
which I was skiing in.
And I can't ski, so if any time you're gonna break your arms,
like I assumed it was going to be then.
I'd just shot that, and I had two days off in between tour.
And I went home and stayed at my girlfriend's parents' house,
and we both got our bicycles and we cycled to the pub.
And I was going down a hill, and my brakes fell off.
Like hit both, arms but then was like, "It's my only day off,
I'm going to the pub."
So--
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
So cycled to the pub, drank with all my mates, then cycled home.
And then in the morning, I was just like in so much pain
that I drove myself to the hospital.
And then they were like, "You can't drive back."
And the only reason--
And what had you done-- you broke your arm?
I broke my wrist--
this wrist, my elbow, and my rib.
Yeah.
Oh my God, and you lasted all night long at the pub without--
Well because I'm a quite clumsy person,
so I kind of thought I was overreacting.
I was kind of like, "Oh, the pain will go."
And then it didn't go.
Yeah.
Man, oh man.
Well, I'm glad you're OK.
Thank you.
That's horrible.
That's-- and were you wearing a helmet?
Yes.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
D'you know what?
I will be wearing one from now on now, since I'm pressed.
You should wear a body suit, like what people wear when they
practice dogs attacking them?
You should wear that.
It was weird. though, because I mean once the elbow kind of got
movement, it was all right.
But I couldn't cut my own food, wash, open doors.
I was really, really dependent on Cherry for the whole thing.
For how long?
At least a month.
Wow.
And then-- you couldn't play guitar, probably?
No, I had to cancel some tour dates, which
I've never done before.
Which wasn't the best thing to do, but--
I just finished up the Asia tour, though,
so I know I can play guitar.
And obviously, I'm [INAUDIBLE] today.
So I'm good.
You're moving around OK.
Yeah.
