Watch George Ezra and Sir Ian McKellen form a formidable duo in ‘Listen to the Man’

George Ezra’s year just got even stranger, thanks to the new ‘Listen to the Man’ video, starring the legendary Sir Ian McKellen.

Gandalf stopped by in this new clip to help perform a few lines, although as the plot unfolds, he soon embraces the role a little too much for George’s liking.

This gives way to one of the finest exchanges in recent times:

George: “I keep trying to do my thing, and you’re just there.”

Ian: “Oh well I’m sorry. I’m just so excited to be here.”

George: “I understand that, but there’s a frustration.”

Ian: “Do you know… Geoff. George. I love all your music, ‘Bucharest’ onwards.”

In the end they form a formidable musical partnership and everyone lives happily ever after.
