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‘s wife Cherry Seaborn has revealed that the singer wrote “seven songs in four hours” after learning of her cancer diagnosis.Seaborn was diagnosed with a tumour last year while she was pregnant with the couple’s second child.As reported by Metro, a scene in Sheeran’s upcoming Disney+ documentary series The Sum Of It All sees Seaborn discussing her husband’s response to the news.She said: “We had the diagnosis of the tumour and the next day Eds went down into the basement and wrote seven songs in four hours.“Some people write a diary and get their emotions out through the pen and for Ed, if something really intense happens, he’ll go and write a song.”Sheeran has previously said that his new songs, many of which make up his upcoming album ‘-‘ (Subtract), out May 5, are based on the “unbreakable” bond he formed with Seaborn through her illness.During his Eventim Apollo show in London in late March, Sheeran told the crowd: “My dad said to me when I got married, ‘You will not know what real love and marriage is until there’s death and real sickness’.
He said that because that happened when he first married my mum. There was real, real grief that happened in the family and real, real sickness that ended up in grief that they had to go through.”Meanwhile, the musician is currently defending himself during an ongoing plagiarism trial that sees him accused of copying Marvin Gaye’s ‘Let’s Get It On’ for his track ‘Thinking Out Loud’.
