Ed Sheeran has revealed that he has paid tribute to Buffy The Vampire Slayer in a new song.

The singer-songwriter is currently working on material to follow up his 2011 debut album '+', which spawned such hits as 'Lego House' and 'The A Team'.

It seems he has been taking inspiration from some cult US TV shows, tweeting:

"Sampling buffy the vampire slayer in a song. Of course we are."

Sheeran previously said on Twitter that he had been busy working on unfinished songs, revealing:

"Cleaning out the metaphorical closet of song ideas today. Everything that is half written gets finished today."

Ed Sheeran meanwhile is currently on tour in North America as he supports Taylor Swift on her mammoth 'Red' tour.
