The video appeared to be shot at night time on a deserted high street which had smoke machines setting the chilling scene.
In one photo, Ed and his group were seen putting on a chilling display as a member of filming crew caught every second of action.
While in a different artistic black-and-white snap, the singer was seen wearing a padded coat as he wrapped up warmly in between scenes.

While Ed also revealed that he had been talked into jumping off a roof as part of an elaborate video stunt despite being scared of heights.
He joked: ‘Still don’t know how I got talked into doing this.’
Only recently, Ed admitted he was feeling nervous about his first solo single in four years.
The singer, who took time out of the music industry after he and his wife Cherry Seaborn welcomed a daughter Lyra Antarctica last year, shared a photo of himself pulling a face.

Ed’s most recent album No. 6 Collaborations Project was released in 2019 and contained the number one singles I Don’t Care, Beautiful People and Take Me Back To London.
While in December 2020 he made a surprise comeback with his single Afterglow following almost 18 months off.
