But Sheeran, 30, sets the record straight and explains that he’s not playing, but singing.

He also suggests he and Beckham could team up for a duet, before the other line suddenly goes dead.

Sheeran then tells fans: “I’m going to be playing some old songs you hopefully know, and I’m going to be playing one brand new song that you definitely don’t.

"Don’t miss it!”

The show takes place on 25 June, a date that Sheeran had already teased might be one for the calendar.

Earlier this week he shared a video on Instagram showing him and his friend Courteney Cox playing music together.

The caption was simply “25th June”, which sparked speculation that something was on its way.
