Aerosmith and Yungblud have released a new edition of last month's My Only Angel single. The new "Desert Road Version" features banjo parts from renowned player and actor/comedian Steve Martin, who recorded his part remotely after Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler reached out.

My Only Angel – Aerosmith's first new music since 2012's Music from Another Dimension! album – was initially released in September. The collaboration was born when Yungblud and Aerosmith reworked a version of the former's nine-minute song Hello Heaven, Hello together, which led to a writing session, and the resultant One More Time EP will be released on November 21.

The other tracks on the EP will be three collaborations (Problems, Wild Woman and A Thousand Days) and a new mix of Aerosmith's 1977 classic Back In The Saddle.

Yungblud's Idols World Tour is currently nearing the end of its European leg. After four US shows next month, he'll head to Australia in the new year, and an extensive North American schedule follows in May. Full dates below.
