London, Mar 3 (IANS): Singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran hit Grammy-winning singer Justin Bieber accidentally in the face with a golf club on a night out.

The 26-year-old recalled an evening in Japan with Bieber which involved him getting drunk and Bieber urging him to use his mouth as a golf tee, reports theguardian.com.

"We were in Japan. We'd been out to a dive bar. He just drank water and I got hammered. Then we went to a golf course, and he lay on the floor and put a golf ball in his mouth and told me to hit it out of his mouth. I was like, 'f**k, I need to aim this properly' and I swung," Sheeran said.

Unfortunately, the "Thinking out loud" hitmaker missed the target and hit Bieber's cheek instead.

"I'd cracked Justin Bieber right in the cheek with a golf club. 'That was one of those 'What the f**k?' moments," he said.

Sheeran and Bieber have also collaborated together with Sheeran penning the "Sorry" hitmaker's song "Love yourself".
