James Blunt to open at friend Ed Sheeran concert

Mumbai: Singer Ed Sheeran has reportedly invited new friend James Blunt to open for him on his upcoming US tour.

The two singer-songwriters became friends last year, during Sheeran's year off and Blunt was at a party with the 'Lego House' star when he was nicked on the face by a sword, reported NME magazine.

"Ed and James have a real laugh together, it'll be proper madness on tour. James has a good following in the US so he'll also play some gigs too, acting as a support for his mate," a source said.

The duo is also working on new material for Blunts new album.

Sheeran will confirm dates for his US tour soon.
