Ed Sheeran teams up with Kylie Minogue to record tune for his new album

It's a combination that will have Kylie Minogue and Ed Sheeran fans in dreamland.

The Queen of Pop is set to appear on the flame-haired singer's newest album.

It follows the pair's link up in March when Ed made a tearful appearance in Australia at the memorial for his friend Michael Gudinski.

The Shape of You singer, 30, performed a short set before joining the Aussie icon on stage to sing some of her biggest hits, including The Locomotion.

And now the duo are reuniting once more to create a tune that is no doubt destined to be a hit.

Kylie's vocals are set to feature on Ed's song Visiting Hours on his upcoming record, which is expected to be named Subtract.

A source told The Sun : "He wrote Visiting Hours in quarantine in Australia, performed it at the gig and asked Kylie to feature on it as she was there too, with the pair having hit it off.

"The song was a dedication to Michael and Kylie felt it right to put her vocals on the track. It was a fitting tribute to the music legend and she was flattered to be asked by Ed."

Another Aussie singer, Jimmy Barnes, will also be on the track after he too played at Michael’s memorial concert.

Speaking on Ash London Live, record-breaker Ed said: 'When I was in Australia, I sang with Kylie and I was hanging with Jimmy Barnes and I said to them, 'You guys have to be on the song'.

"So I got back to England, I recorded it and sent it off to them and they're on it."

The Mirror has contacted r epresentatives of both Ed Sheeran and Kylie Minogue for comment.

The news follows the release of Ed's first song in over two years on Thursday as Bad Habits, which was unsurprisingly on course to be number one in the UK.

The singer-songwriter has also recently discussed becoming a father to 10-month-old daughter Lyra Antarctica Seaborn Sheeran who he shares with wife Cherry Seaborn.

And he admits that since becoming a dad he's cut back on his alcohol intake after “addiction issues”.

Ed said: "I kind of like battled with addiction for the large part of my 20s and always I never wanted to be the guy that had a problem but I kind of knew that I did. I never had an excuse to properly stop.

"I would stop for like a month and then slip back into things. I would stop for like a week and then slip back into things. It wasn't until knowing that I was going to be a dad and knowing I had to be a supportive husband that it was like "Right. I am done." It is when you grow up and have responsibilities.....now here I am being a responsible adult drinking water."
