The pair will be touring North America this June.

The pair have recently worked on several new songs together, set to appear on Blunt’s new album, ‘The Afterlove’. The first of which, ‘Make Me Better’, co-written by Sheeran and his regular collaborator Johnny McDaid, was released earlier this month.

Sheeran is due to embark on his UK tour next week, with dates lined up in London, Glasgow, Manchester, Birmingham and more.

Last week, the singer-songwriter was revealed as the final headliner at this year’s Glastonbury Festival, prompting a mixed response from festival-goers.

In a recent interview, Blunt admitted that he and Sheeran made up a story about Princess Beatrice cutting Sheeran’s face with a sword.

It was reported in November that Princess Beatrice had accidentally slashed Sheeran’s face while she pretended to knight Blunt at the Royal Lodge in Windsor.
