Ed Sheeran relocating to Nashville

British musician Ed Sheeran is moving to the home of country music to complete work on his second album.

The A-Team hitmaker achieved huge success with his debut + and is preparing the follow-up to the 2011 hit in Nashville, Tennessee.

Sheeran has now decided to temporarily relocate to the city while he records in the studio, and has even enlisted his pal Taylor Swift's father Scott to help him find the perfect property to live in.

He explains, "Nashville is wicked (great). It's like a proper music community but it's also quintessentially American. You bump into people there with cowboy hats who spit in jars and call you 'boy'. I just love that."
