Ed Sheeran performed an off the cuff version of the iconic Fresh Prince of Bell-Air theme tune. Watch his acoustic spin on the track below.

During promo at Capital FM for his new album Divide, the 'Thinking Out Loud' star was caught off-guard by a fan's unpredictable request - to merge their two loves of Ed Sheeran and Will Smith's 90's show. Though hesitent at first, Sheeran picked up his guitar and agreed to take it on. 

The singer also confirmed he is set to appear on James Corden's Carpool Karaoke in the near future, which we're sure will instantly go viral.

Meanwhile, the tracklist for the upcoming new record was revealed via Sheeran's social sites yesterday. Track titles include 'Eraser', 'Hearts Don't Break Around Here' and 'Galway Girl', with the record featuring 12 songs. 

'Castle On The Hill' and 'Shape Of You' were released last week, and Sheeran smashed the record for most streams on the service in a single day. 'Shape Of You' gained 6,868,642 streams, with 'Castle On The Hill' clocking-up 6,168,395 in the first 24 hours. Impressive stuff.

Ed Sheeran is heavily rumoured to snag a headline spot of Glastonbury Festival this June. 

Divide will be released on 3 March.
