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.
An email saying "We hope you enjoyed Ed Sheeran " has been sent to people who had tickets cancelled for the chart-topper's gig at Hampden Park last night.
Fans including emergency services workers - who booked tickets using the Blue Light Card service for NHS, social care sector, and armed forces - were only notified they could not attend the Glasgow concert just hours before it was due to start.
It is thought hundreds of ticket holders were affected by the late cancellation, with many of them left out of pocket after paying for travel and accommodation to attend the show.Some who had tickets cancelled then received an email from Ticketmaster on Saturday morning after the gig saying "We hope you enjoyed Ed Sheeran", with the move described as "adding insult to injury".One Twitter user said: "honestly laughable being sent this email this afternoon doesn't this just add insult to injury I would have enjoyed it had I actually got to go and my tickets not been cancelled".
Another added: "Are you having an absolute laugh? #edsheeranglasgow #cancelledby???" It comes hours after hundreds of empty seats were spotted on the second night of the hitmaker's Glasgow shows.
