"Gabrielle Aplin will support Ed Sheeran on his upcoming Australian tour. The &amp;#039;Power of Love&amp;#039; singer will accompany Sheeran on the tour, which kicks off in Perth on February 23, Metro reports.  Aplin, who reached number one with her cover of the Frankie Goes To Hollywood classic late last year, has described Sheeran&amp;#039;s invite as &amp;quot;really lovely&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;I met him at a festival last year and we were texting and he just said, &amp;#039;Do you want to come to Australia?&amp;#039; I don&amp;#039;t know him that well but he just invited me, which was really lovely,&amp;quot; she explained. As well as featuring on the John Lewis Christmas advert, Aplin has also been nominated for MTV&amp;#039;s Brand New: 2013 talent search. Speaking of the John Lewis campaign, Aplin said: &amp;quot;I wouldn&amp;#039;t be where I am now without it, it&amp;#039;s overwhelming I didn&amp;#039;t expect it to be number one, I&amp;#039;m really happy.&amp;quot;   She also admitted that her MTV nomination makes her &amp;quot;want to do well&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;I think once you win [MTV Brand New: 2013] you kind of do have to prove yourself. &amp;quot;I think it puts the pressure on you, but it&amp;#039;s nice to have MTV support you.&amp;quot; Aplin releases her new single &amp;#039;Please Don&amp;#039;t Say You Love Me&amp;#039; on February 10 before embarking on a UK tour in March. She will then release her debut album English Rain on April 29. Watch the video for &amp;#039;Please Don&amp;#039;t Say You Love Me&amp;#039; below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
