Ed Sheeran has announced plans to tour again in North America, revealing a string of arena dates on Monday..

The trek, which will be extended later, kicks off Aug. 22 in Seattle. It comes on the heels of his new, Pharrell-produced single "Sing," which he performed this past weekend on Saturday Night Live.

"Sing" precedes Sheeran's new album, X, which is due June 23. In addition to Pharrell, the album features production from Rick Rubin, Jeff Bhasker, Benny Blanco, Snow Patrol’s Johnny McDaid and Jake Gosling. It is one of our 40 Albums to Watch for in 2014.
