Wayne Rooney tells Ed Sheeran he 'wants to sing live' at his wedding to Cherry Seaborn

Wayne Rooney has reportedly told his pal Ed Sheeran he is planning on singing at his upcoming wedding.

Sheeran recently got engaged to girlfriend Cherry Seaborn and the pair are expected to tie the knot next year.

Everton striker Rooney maintains a good friendship with the music star and has even been touted as a potential best man for the big day.

The Daily Star claims the former England captain has already warned Sheeran he intends to belt out some tunes – whether he likes the idea or not.

A source told the newspaper: “Wayne is totally tuneless and has a terrible voice.

“Ed thinks that is part of his charm when he launches into surprise karaoke sessions on nights out and jumps up at friends’ weddings to sing.

“Wayne told him he would be doing the same at Ed’s wedding, whether he likes it or not. He began by asking Ed to do a duet with him on stage in front of all the guests.

“But when Ed replied, joking that he might leave the gig to professionals, Wayne told him he will be jumping on stage to sing anyway.

“Wayne is insisting he won’t be put off and will undoubtedly be jumping up for a surprise song on the big day as the booze is going to be flowing.”

Rooney and Sheeran have teamed up for duets in the past.

Rooney was an unused substitute as his beloved Toffees were thrashed 5-1 at Arsenal on Saturday in a performance described as ‘crap’ by manager Sam Allardyce.
