"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 Teams Up With Ukrainian Band Antytila To Release Powerful Music Video For ‘2Step’ Remix
etcanada.comEd Sheeran has teamed up with the Ukrainian band Antytila to release a reworked version of “2step”. Antytila’s band members have been fighting in their country following the Russian invasion.
Back in March, they shared a video to Sheeran asking to play a two-hour benefit show for Ukraine taking place in Birmingham, U.K.
Organizers refused at the time, explaining that the event had to avoid association with the military and instead focus on the humanitarian situation, NME reported.
