Ed Sheeran has covered Bob Dylan's classic 'Masters of War' for a new charity album by campaign group ONE. Watch the music video for the track below.

The charity, founded by U2 frontman Bono, campaigns to fight extreme poverty and preventable disease, particularly in Africa, by raising public awareness and pressuring political leaders to support effective policies and programmes.

The album, 'agit8', is collection of protest songs and covers from the likes of Bruce Springsteen, The Specials, Elvis Costello, Manic Street Preachers and many more.

Sheeran is currently working on his second album, the follow-up to 2011's enormously successful '+'.

Last month, the star joked that he was planning to record a 'rap-metal' album and leak it online.
