Edward Christopher Sheeran, MBE (born 17 February 1991) is an English singer-songwriter. In early 2011, Sheeran independently released the extended play, No. 5 Collaborations Project. After signing with Asylum Records, his debut album, + (pronounced "plus"), was released in September 2011. It topped the UK and Australian charts, reached number five in the US, and has since been certified eight-times platinum in the UK.
The album contains the single "The A Team", which earned him the Ivor Novello Award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically. In 2012, Sheeran won the Brit Awards for Best British Male Solo Artist and British Breakthrough Act. "The A Team" was nominated for Song of the Year at the 2013 Grammy Awards, where he performed the song with Elton John.
Even Chris Hemsworth fanboys over some celebs. The action superstar is opening up about his unabashed love for Ed Sheeran after seeing him in concert three times in a matter of months.
Hemsworth walked the carpet at the premiere of his new action epic, “Extraction 2”, held at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City on Monday, and he opened up to ET’s Rachel Smith about having gone to see the “Bad Habits” singer live in concert in New Jersey over the weekend. “I was gonna blame it on my kids and say my kids wanted me to come, but they’re not even here,” Hemsworth said with a laugh.
The handsome star took to Instagram over the weekend to share some snapshots from Sheeran’s concert at MetLife Stadium, where he was joined by Matt Damon and Gordon Ramsay. “I’m a fan.
I saw him twice back home, ’cause he played in Australia, and then we flew into New York yesterday. I’d like to say it was for this premiere, but it was for Ed Sheeran,” Hemsworth admitted, adding that, at this point, he feels he should be “president” of the singer’s fan club.
