Jamaican Olympic legend Usain Bolt and English singer-songwriter Tom Grennan are set to record new music together.

The 27-year-old Grennan and Bolt, 35, reportedly struck up a friendship after meeting at this year’s Soccer Aid and the pair have now decided to hit the studio together to work on the sprint world record holder’s new album.

Bolt – who released his debut album, Country Yutes, with singer, close friend and manager Nugent Walker, last year – told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column: “We are still working on our rhyme right now. Next year we will do an album.

“We are still trying to get my name out there for music as people still don’t take it that seriously. Then I’ll try to put out another album.

“Music is just a part of me. In lockdown I wasn’t doing much so I thought I could take the opportunity to get into music as it is something I love to do. I’d like to do more collaborations on the record.”

Grennan added: “Usain is a producer. I am a singer. When he is doing his album I am flying to Jamaica 100 per cent.”

Even though Grennan and Bolt were on different teams for Soccer Aid, they bonded over their shared love of music.

And they even joined fellow celebrities, including Liam Payne, formerly of One Direction, for a singalong.
