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.
ED Sheeran is auctioning off his childhood toys and handwritten lyrics to raise money for charity. The pop star has donated personal items including handwritten lyrics from his hit song Perfect to a Suffolk charity.
The 29-year-old singer will aid causes in his home county Suffolk after his parents helped organise the big online clear-out.
Ed is hoping to sell his cherished possessions to raise money for young people in Suffolk, including redeveloping a playground in Ipswich.
One die-hard fan will be able to get their hands on Ed's handwritten lyrics to hit single Perfect. Fans of the Shape of You singer can also bid for a handmade You Need Me EP from 2009 and a £3 ticket to his first ever gig at the British Legion in Framlingham.
