  • I have to say congratulations.

  • You were nominated for two Grammys.

  • And I also have to say I'm outraged that you were not nominated for Album of the Year or Song of the Year.

  • How "Shape of .. I cannot believe that that was not nominated for Song of the Year.

  • I mean...

  • I think... do you know like... my outlook on it is just 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.

  • But that's the point.

  • That's where you win.

  • That's where the validation comes from,

  • where you actually see genuine people enjoying the songs and stuff like that.

  • Yeah, yeah.

  • I'd rather have a lifetime of people coming up to me and saying,

  • "This song affects me in this way, 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?

  • You know what...

  • It was one of the fastest song that I'd written,

  • and had just kind of came 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!

  • Yeah, which is exciting,

  • which is one of those things...

  • I did it, and the song came out so long ago.

  • In the scheme of like, music now, like music kind of goes so fast.

  • And I was like, "I want to do it 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.

  • 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 and 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 don't know... 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 Instagrmming them?

  • Yeah, yeah. I have. Yeah.

  • Because that's actually really funny.

  • 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 like little orange "doritos."

  • Yeah.

  • And the other one?

  • Well, Calippo in England is an ice cream.

  • Like an iced, iced flavored thing.

  • Icy pop?

  • Yeah.

  • So yeah, 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're on your way to the pub?

  • 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 tours.

  • 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 I was like, "It's my only day off, I'm going to the pub."

  • So...

  • So I 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 ... my this wrist, my elbow and my rib.

  • On my god, and you lasted all night long at the pub without...

  • Well, because I'm a quite clumsy person, so I kind of thougt 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.

  • Do you know what?

  • I'll 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 alright.

  • 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, for today.

  • So, I'm good.

  • You're moving around OK.

  • Yeah.

I have to say congratulations.
