<\/p>\nEd Sheeran is targeting a collab with Bob Dylan, but he won\u2019t be knock, knock, knockin\u2019 on Dylan\u2019s door for it. <\/p>\n
Instead Ed hopes to become friends with the 82-year-old folk legend before they can work together. Asked about his heroes Ed revealed: \u201cI\u2019ve met them all, apart from Dylan … but if you meet Bob Dylan prematurely… I don\u2019t want the picture thing. My rule was always I am never going to seek someone out to meet them, I\u2019m going to wait for them to meet me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ed\u2019s become pals with many greats including Eminem, for who he bided his time. Ed said: \u201cI wanted him to be like, \u2018I like your stuff\u2019. I waited and after four years he said, \u2018we should do a song\u2019 and we became like friends.\u201d The same happened to Ed with childhood inspiration Damien Rice, who he eventually befriended in Iceland: \u201cWe went on a hike and got in a hot pool… this is why I\u2019ve waited, it was a nice interaction.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hard to imagine Bob Dylan in a hot tub with anyone, but Ed does seem to get interest from all sorts of legends, including Van Morrison. Ed recalled: \u201cHe doorstepped me at my hotel. I\u2019d just made Thinking Out Loud and I remember my gran came to the gig and we had a lot of whisky, as you do.<\/p>\n
"I went to bed at 4 in the morning and I remember getting this phone call at six and the front desk saying, \u2018Van Morrison is here, he wants to have breakfast with you\u2019. I thought they were taking the p***. It was really surreal because I was still drunk but he\u2019s really sweet.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ed has just dropped a new trailer for his upcoming Fan Living Room Sessions recorded in fans\u2019 houses.<\/p>\n
