Snow Patrol working on new music with Ed Sheeran

Northern Irish rock band Snow Patrol is recording new music with Grammy-winning singer Ed Sheeran.

The "Chasing Cars" hitmakers, who co-wrote Sheeran's song "Bloodstream," said they are back in the studio together, reported Femalefirst.

"Me and my man Johnny McDaid here have been working on a lot of movie soundtracks, we've been working on some independent film scores and stuff like that. We're writing again with Ed Sheeran and a lot of other guys as well," frontman Gary Lightbody said.

McDaid, 39, said the band considers the 25-year-old "Thinking Out Loud" hitmaker their brother.

"Ed is a very cool guy. He is one of our best friends and one of our brothers," he said.
