Ed Sheeran's new album features a very special "uncredited" guest

Singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran has revealed that he has a special guest on his forthcoming new album, but the star remains uncredited in the record's liner notes. 

During a recent interview with Zach Sang and The Gang, he explained that musician John Mayer lent his guitar skills to one song in particular, which was really exciting:

"I got John Mayer on a guitar solo that's uncredited that's quite cool. I did a really terrible guitar solo on a song and I was like, 'I bet John Mayer could do this better.' So I emailed him and he did it a lot better."

The hitmaker, who returned with two brand new singles this week, added that he has genuinely missed the thrill of performing live and can't wait to get back to it: "I've now kind of recharged my batteries and thought about why I was in the music industry and came back with a sort of different view and I don't really mind, like I'm really grateful that people have a lot of love for the music I make which is nice."

"I'm in the music industry to perform. It took a year of not performing to see that because I started getting like, pangs of being upset and I was like 'What am I upset about?' I was like, 'Oh yeah, I haven't played a show in a year.'"
