Ed Sheeran will perform 'Bloodstream' at the BRIT Awards.
The 24-year-old musician will sing at the annual ceremony tomorrow (25.02.15) and has accidentally revealed he will perform his new single.
After playing the track on BBC Radio 1 this morning (24.02.15), host Nick Grimshaw asked Ed what he would be performing, to which he replied: "That! Yeah. Oh I probably shouldn't say that because it's meant to be a [secret]."
The singer-songwriter's latest track is a collaboration with drum and bass quartet Rudimental, and although he denied he would be singing with a band, he teased his performance may surprise viewers.
He continued: "It's a song that I've never played on TV before. And to be fair, the way I'm doing it, no-one's seen me do that, it's not with a band ... it's going to be good."
Meanwhile, the star - who is up for four awards at the BRITs - was in his hometown of Ipswich on Monday (23.02.15) filming the video for the song along with a group of school children.
Later in the day he tweeted: "Bloodstream video coming soon (sic)."
Other performers set to grace the stage at the BRIT Awards at London's O2 Arena include Taylor Swift, Madonna, Sam Smith, George Ezra, Take That, Royal Blood and Paloma Faith.

Ne-Yo's mum is his "biggest influence".
The 32-year-old singer has praised his mother for being his "hero" because although she has had a difficult life she still has a positive attitude.
He admitted: "My mum was and still is the biggest influence on me, she's my absolute hero. As far as I'm concerned, she's the strongest person on the planet. She's really been through the wringer, from not being appreciated to guys who weren't there for her. She's been through a lot and came out on the other side."
The 'Let Me Love You' hitmaker - who recently released his sixth studio album 'Non-Fiction' - continued to praise his mum by explaining it was her musical taste which first made him want to sing.
He continued: "I used to hate my singing voice because I didn't sound like Teddy Pendergrass or the O'Jays, the guys my mum used to love listening to. I wanted to sound like the guys she liked but I couldn't, so she introduced me to Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder and said: 'Listen to what they do and you'll be more comfortable in what you do.' That's pretty much why I'm here."
However, the R 'n' B musician added Sammy Davis Jr. was his musical hero as a youngster because it made him feel "cool to be black".
He told Metro newspaper: "I loved what he stood for and the Rat Pack era. It really meant something to me and I wanted to be him in high school. He was one of my heroes and made it cool to be black."

The 'Blank Space' hitmaker was taken by surprise yesterday (23.02.14) as she was presented with the award during her rehearsals for her BRIT Awards performance tomorrow (25.02.15) at London's O2 Arena.

It also became the highest selling release since 2002 and the top selling album of 2014 in the US, where it has now spent 11 weeks at no. 1 on the Billboard 100 chart.
She is also the youngest artist in history to receive the music industry's most prestigious award, the Grammy Award for Album of the Year, which she won for her 2010 album 'Fearless'.
The Recording Artist of the year list also included Sam Smith, Katy Perry, Ed Sheeran, Beyoncé, Coldplay and Pink Floyd.

One Direction have been named the biggest British band in the world.
The 'Night Changes' hitmakers - Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne - have fought off stiff competition from artists including Sam Smith and Ed Sheeran to claim the title for the third year in a row.
Simon Cowell - who mentored them on 'The X Factor' before signing them to his Syco record label - told The Sun newspaper: "I am absolutely delighted and immensely proud that One Direction were the biggest UK act in the world in 2014.
"To accomplish this for a third year in the row is a fantastic achievement - and especially pleasing as this latest album also highlighted the band's skills as songwriters."
The heartthrobs' success is based on figures from the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) whose Global Recording Artist Chart shows that they outsold all other British acts for a third consecutive year following the release of their latest album 'Four', which topped the iTunes chart in 85 different countries.
Meanwhile, the 'Story of My Life' crooners are nominated for Best British Group and Best British Video at the BRIT awards tomorrow night (25.02.15).

Lorde will start recording her new album in "the next month".
The 18-year-old pop sensation has been hard at work writing songs for the follow-up to her 2013 debut album 'Pure Heroine' and is set to begin recording with her trusted producer Joel Little in the next few weeks.
He revealed: "We're gonna get in the studio again very soon. That's the plan, basically. We're just going to start writing some songs."
Elaborating on when the sessions would be taking place, he added: "Really soon. Like within the next month or so we'll be in the studio."
The 32-year-old producer - who has also worked with Ellie Goulding and Sam Smith - continued to say the LP may not fall into the same genre as the 'Royals' hitmaker's multi-platinum debut, as they are being completely open-minded about the sound.
He said: "We haven't got some planned out 'this is what it's going to sound like'... I think we're just going to start writing and when it starts to feel right, we'll know that it's right. It's pretty simple really."
And while Lorde's first record sold millions of copies around the world, Joel added neither of them are feeling any pressure to live up to the standard set by 'Pure Heroine'.
He told Australia's Triple J radio station: "You can't control what you're going to come up with on the day.
"If you think about it like that you're not going to come up with anything good. Some days you're in the studio and things don't click, you don't write anything good. And some days you're in the studio and things go great."

Chris Brown feels "responsible for reviving" Drake's career.
The 25-year-old rapper has had several high-profile spats with the 'Trophies' hitmaker but doesn't want to give him any more publicity because he feels like the Canadian musician only has a career because he is always badmouthing him.
He said: "We're not getting no cheque from talking about dude.
"We're giving him all this pub [publicity]. We're us. I can't keep making these motherf***ers famous. I'm responsible for reviving a lot of careers. When I keep talking about somebody, I'm just making them hot."
The pair's long-running feud is believed to have started after Drake began dating Chris' ex-girlfriend Rihanna, leading to a physical altercation at WIP nightclub in New York in June 2012 in which eight people we injured.
As well as Chris, fellow rapper Tyga - who is rumoured to be dating 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' star Kylie Jenner - also chimed into the debate by suggesting Drake isn't a sincere artist and has changed since becoming famous, commenting just days after the 28-year-old star insulted the 'Rack City' hitmaker in his new track '6PM in New York'.
Speaking to Hot 97, he said: "This industry, like you said, is so fake.
"Half of these rappers and everybody just be weirdos. They get money and get a little clout, a little fame and then they just think they're this new person."

Pharrell Williams helps British people get out of bed in the morning.
The 41-year-old singer's track 'Happy' has been voted the top tune to start the day, closely followed by Bill Withers' 'Lovely Day' and 'Beautiful Day' by U2, while The Eagles' 'Hotel California' was found to be the best song to relax and unwind to, followed by Adele's 'Chasing Pavements' and Sam Smith's 'Stay With Me'.
The ultimate British playlist survey - which was carried out to celebrate MasterCard's 2015 BRIT Awards sponsorship - also looked at what music fans listen to on the way to and from work, when working out, getting ready for a night out, going through a break up and when they are in the mood for romance.
Shaun Springer, Head of Brand and Sponsorship, for MasterCard UK & Ireland said: "Everyone's playlist is different but it's fascinating to know the most common songs which we choose to listen to depending on our moods and motivations throughout the day. With us Brits on average listening to a full day of music each week, we are clearly a nation with eclectic tastes and a passion for music. At MasterCard we want to help our customers access the things they love, so we are hugely proud of being able to support The BRIT Awards for the 17th year."
The survey of 2000 people found the average Brit listens to around three hours and 23 minutes of music daily, or seven weeks a year, with over half claiming to need music to get through the working day - with 10 per cent of 18-24 year olds doing so to block out the sound of colleagues.
