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.
SIR Elton John opened up on the very cheeky birthday present given to him by Ed Sheeran. Elton turned 74 in March and Ed gifted him a "giant marble penis" for his big day. "For my birthday this year, he gave me a giant marble penis," he said on Hit 109.9's Carrie and Tommy Show. "I don't know if that's because I've always been a p***k or what.
It's really big, it's beautifully made." The Rocketman singer revealed his husband, David Furnish, wouldn't let him put the marble statue in their garden because of their sons Zachary, 10, and eight-year-old Elijah.
He explained: "It's hidden in an area in the house where they wouldn't see it" Elton also opened up about he influenced Ed's fashion sense and connected him with Donatella Versace.
