English song writer and singer Ed Sheeran has revealed he’s putting together a boy band.

The 26-year-old star, who has written songs for a number of popular artists including One Direction and Justin Bieber, says he plans to put together his very own boy band with the intentions of taking them on tour with him.

Speaking in an interview for the new issue of Rolling Stone magazine, Ed admitted he was already in the process of auditioning members for the band, and had written a number of songs for them.

Talking about the music, the Castle on the Hill singer said: “[It is] really, really decent. Superpop, but obviously credible. I’m gonna put three or four boys together and do all the songs, take them on the stadium tour with me.”

And the Shape of You singer also revealed his plans to perform in “stadiums everywhere”.

He added: “I want to do stadiums everywhere. Like George Strait’s level – he tours every four years, does a couple of stadiums and then f**ks off again.”

Whatever songs Ed has written for his future boy band project will likely include some heart breaking tracks, as he recently admitted the “best songs” come from writing about pain.
