Ed Sheeran is performing with Pink Floyd at the Olympics closing ceremony

Ed Sheeran has announced he is to sing (and probably play his guitar a bit) with Pink Floyd at that Olympics closing ceremony.

The fun-loving song­writer revealed this new level of boring to some Australian radio station (quoted here), saying: "I'm playing the closing ceremony — which I think is kinda cool right?"

WRONG.

"A lot of people think that I'm doing a song with The Who but I'm not — I'm doing a song with Pink Floyd," he went on to share, before dropping the (awful) news that they will be per­form­ing 'Wish You Were Here'.

Consider this your confirmed toilet break.

UPDATE: Pink Floyd have released a statement denying that they're playing at the closing ceremony. "In response to press spec­u­la­tion, Pink Floyd state that the band is NOT per­form­ing at the Closing Ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games," it reads. So there you have it.
