Stevie Wonder mocks Ed Sheeran’s British accent as he invites singer onstage for Superstition duet
Soul legend Stevie Wonder mocked Ed Sheeran’s accent as he invited the singer-songwriter to perform with him in New York.
The 65-year-old musician was playing to fans at the Prudential Center in Newark when he welcomed Sheeran to the stage.
When asked by Stevie how he was feeling, the 24-year-old said: “I’m quite nervous”.
Stevie then showcased his best British accent and joked: "I'm from England too actually. I'm from Brixton, actually. I came to the States because I couldn't make it in England, you know what I mean.
"You've got to show me how to play guitar. It's ok, not right now."
The pair then launched into a rendition of Pastime Paradise from his album Songs In The Key of Life.
