Ed Sheeran has been announced to play a Teenage Cancer Trust charity gig this year.

The singer-songwriter is the latest headliner to be confirmed for the string of star-studded shows, which take place at the iconic Royal Albert Hall in March and April 2017.

“It’s an honour to be asked back by the Teenage Cancer Trust for their fundraising week of live gigs,” said Sheeran.

“It’s such an important cause and one that I’m extremely proud to be a part of. See you on March 28 and let’s raise loads of money for young people with cancer!”

Tickets for the show go on sale on Friday 17 February from 9am.
