George Ezra reveals his upbeat hit 'Green Green Grass' was inspired by a funeral

George Ezra has revealed that his upbeat track 'Green Green Grass' was actually inspired by a funeral.

The singer appeared on This Morning to tell the story of when he was on holiday in St Lucia with friends and got the idea after he accidentally stumbled across a funeral that looked more like a party.

"People were cooking food, there are sound systems, dancing, a lot of hugging, it looked beautiful," he told Holly and Philip.

"They were celebrating the lives of three people they'd lost...it was different to anything I'd known."
