Way back in 2014, Ella Henderson released her debut song 'Ghost' co-written by the incredible Ryan Tedder from OneRepublic, and she has now been announced to join them on tour later this year.

Ella took to her socials over the weekend to announce the exciting news, sharing a series of photos and videos, captioning it: '11 years ago I wrote Ghost with the amazing @ryantedder … This song helped me travel the world and now I’m so excited to say that I’m going to be travelling the UK and Europe supporting @onerepublic on tour! What a full circle moment!!! 🙏❤️🥰 for info on tickets check the Links in bio & my website!! E x x. #tour'.

In the video, she told her fans: "11 years ago I put out my debut single 'Ghost' and that song literally changed by life and I got to travel all around the world from doing what I love the most.

"So I'm so excited to tell you all, that I'm going to be going on tour with OneRepublic, which is a massive 360 and full circle moment because, I wrote 'Ghost' with Ryan Tedder and we're about to be on the road together. So who knows what could happen?!

"I'm very excited, make sure you get your tickets and make sure you come with us on tour. I can't wait to see you there, it's going to an absolute blast."

Fans of the singer were excited to hear the news, with one writing: 'The song that introduced me to your music!! I can’t believe it’s been 11 years!! ❤️'. Another said: 'My fav childhood band and one of my fav singers together on stage😍🥺 PROUD OF YOU'. (sic)
