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 and The Who are on the lineup for the returning Teenage Cancer Trust concert series, which has been on hiatus for two years due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The music and comedy event will be held at the Royal Albert Hall in London between 21-27 March. Liam Gallagher, Yungblud, Madness and Don Broco are among the other musical guests booked to perform.
An evening of comedy hosted by Joel Dommett will include Rob Beckett, Romesh Ranganathan and Seann Walsh. The Who frontman Roger Daltrey, 77, helped launch the series in 2000 to help raise money for Teenage Cancer Trust. “Live music has been hit hard by the pandemic and it has been particularly frustrating for me that we haven't been able to get artists on stage to raise money for this vitally important cause,” he said in a statement. “But we haven't given up.
My wonderful team and I have pulled out all the stops to make this 20th series of shows for Teenage Cancer Trust the best ever.
