Music age gaps: older stars working with youngsters

Ed Sheeran and Pink Floyd, Cher and Lady Gaga - the vintage artists working with fledgling stars

 

  • Pink Floyd and Ed Sheeran: Sheeran has revealed he is teaming up with Pink Floyd at the Olympics closing ceremony (and not, as previously expected, The Who). The ginger-haired singer and psychedelic rock band seem an odd combination, but if it''s anything like the opening ceremony then we won''t be disappointed.

From rockers teaming up with cabaret legends, disco stars and a dance duo and a super-slick US rapper duetting on an X Factor star's track, find out which ageing stars have teamed up with youthful music stars.

Take a look through our gallery to find out some of the maddest and baddest classic-modern combinations...
