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 said to be penning a song to pay tribute to his late friend, Jamal Edwards. Jamal tragically died in February at the age of 31 after a period of “sudden illness”.
He helped launch the Shape Of You hitmaker Ed's career after he filmed the then-up-and-coming star for his channel SB.TV and the pair soon formed a friendship too.
Now, almost two months on from his passing, Ed, also 31, is reportedly creating a song and video with the help of some of the late music producer's nearest and dearest.
Photos have emerged of the singer at a recording studio in Soho, London, where the likes of Rafferty Law and Tom Felton were also in attendance.
