“Orchestrated and produced by my super talented brother Matt, little gift for you all before Christmas. Hope you love it as much as I do. I sing in Italian too which is fun x.”

Classical musician Bocelli also shared the news on his Twitter and Instagram pages.

The new version of the song has been produced by Matt Sheeran.
