Ed Sheeran supported by wife Cherry amid 'humiliating' court battle - 'she's his rock'

ok.co.uk:

World renowned singer Ed Sheeran has been relying on the support of his wife Cherry Seaborn amid his "disturbing and stressful" court case, which has seen him accused of copying music from other artists, a source has revealed.

Ross O' Donoghue and Sami Chokri (who goes by the grime artist name Sami Switch) have alleged that Ed's 2017 'Shape of You' from his bestselling album ÷ ("Divide") used snippets from their own song 'Oh Why', and filed an official legal complaint back in 2018.

The songwriting duo claimed the "Oh I" hook heard in the track is "strikingly similar" to that in their original single, which was released the year earlier.

Now, whilst the trial is taking place in court, Ed, 31, is understood to be suffering severely with the stress of the situation.
