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.
SIR ELTON JOHN has topped the leaderboard for the highest grossing tour ever, overtaking his pal Ed Sheeran. His Goodbye Yellow Brick Road tour has grossed £663million over 278 shows since 2018.
And the total will increase as he still has six months left of the massive worldwide jaunt. The tour, which has been delayed multiple times due to Covid and injuries to Sir Elt, will begin its final leg in Liverpool in March.
After that he will play throughout Europe, including a headline slot at Glastonbury, before finishing in Stockholm, Sweden, on July 8, with his 333rd show.
Ed, who collaborated with Elton on the festive hit Merry Christmas in 2021, had held the record for his Divide tour, which ended in 2019 and raked in £630million.
