Ed Sheeran draws inspiration from Buffy the Vampire Slayer for new song

Ed Sheeran has combined his love for music and Buffy The Vampire Slayer by sampling tunes from the hit TV show in a new song.

The A Team hitmaker is a huge fan of writer Joss Whedon's vampire series, which ran for seven seasons before going off air in 2003, and he reveals he has created a new track using parts of the programme's soundtrack - although he's chosen not to include it on his next album, the as-yet-untitled follow-up to 2011's +.

He tells TheCrosbyPress.com, "It's not actually on this album. I just made a tune sampling some background music from Buffy. I love Buffy, I watch it a lot, and some of the soundtrack is brilliant."
