Ed Sheeran has revealed he's recorded music with Elton John.

Ed Sheeran has been writing music with none other than British music legend, Sir Elton John!

The 'Bad Habits' singer revealed exclusively to Will Manning on The Official Big Top 40 that he has recently recorded three songs with Elton - and one of them is being released very soon!

"I speak to him pretty much every single day," Ed told the show, "Just one day he was like 'we should do a song.'"

"I went round his house and we wrote three songs and one of them is out of this world. It will be out after my album's out."

Ed is releasing his new album = (Equals) on October 29th, with Elton bringing out his own Lockdown Sessions album the week before - which features a number of A-list collaborations.

The album includes 'Cold Heart' with Dua Lipa, which celebrated its second week at Number 1 on the UK's biggest chart show this Sunday.

Meanwhile, Ed's new single 'Shivers' debuted at Number 2 on The Official Big Top 40 just two days after its release this week. Will he be knocking Elton from the top spot next Sunday?
