Ed Sheeran has given fans a taste of his new single ahead of its full debut tonight (April 7).

The British singer-songwriter is due to unleash the track 'Sing' on Zane Lowe's BBC Radio 1 show.

However, he uploaded a video over the weekend of himself playing a section of the tune.

Sheeran recently also announced that he will release his next album - called 'x' - in June.

He wrote on Twitter: "My 2nd album is called 'x' or 'multiply' and will released on the 23rd of June worldwide. Can't wait for you guys to hear it."

The record will act as the follow-up to his 2011 debut '+'.
