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.
Matt Hancock had a blast at the Brit Awards this week as the former health secretary was seen dancing the night away and kissing his girlfriend at the awards. The former cabinet minister attended the star-studded music ceremony at London’s O2 Arena on Tuesday where the likes of Adele, Ed Sheeran and Liam Gallagher performed.
In photos obtained by The Sun, Mr Hancock, 43, was seen with his girlfriend Gina Coladangelo chatting to a couple of friends and smiling away in the VIP section, where tickets cost as much as £2,000.
According to one source, the former minister had an absolute blast at the event, revealing: ‘He was drinking wine from a plastic cup, and dancing – well, wriggling his hips – as Ed Sheeran and Adele performed. ‘Matt and Gina were kissing quite a bit, and are clearly pretty smitten with one another.’ The insider described the whole display as ‘extraordinary’ and said Mr Hancock was mobbed by fans requesting selfies, and some who mockingly offered ‘wine and cheese’ in reference to the infamous Downing Street parties.
Since leaving Westminster, Mr Hancock’s lifestyle has appeared ever so relaxed with the politician seen enjoying a frosty dip in Hyde Park’s Serpentine lake in January.
