About Ed Sheeran
By Georgia Williams
Ed Sheeran's story — from sleepin' on sofas on London's open-mic circuit to the most-streamed British artist of all time — it's a modern fairytale. Born in Halifax in 91, raised in Framlingham, Suffolk. Taught himself guitar as a kid, writin' songs before his teens. Early EPs on MySpace, grassroots shows, buskin' outside Buckingham Palace. Built a word-of-mouth followin' that caught Elton John's attention. From busker to headliner — that's pure graft.
His debut + (11) announced a singular talent. The A Team — a hauntin' portrait of addiction and homelessness — reached number three. Brit Award for British Breakthrough Act. Then x (14) was a commercial behemoth. Thinkin' Out Loud became the first song to spend a full year inside the UK Top 40. Won Song of the Year at the Grammys. That timeless weddin'-dance groove cemented him as a balladeer for the ages.
÷ (17) rewrote the record books. Shape of You became the most-streamed song on Spotify — held the record for years. Perfect and Castle on the Hill completed three consecutive number-one singles from a single album — matched only by the Beatles. The ÷ Tour became the highest-grossin' tour ever at that point. Over eight million people worldwide.
Master collaborator — writin' for and with Taylor Swift, Stormzy, Eminem, Beyoncé. No.6 Collaborations Project (19) debuted at number one. - (23) was a raw grief-stricken record followin' the death of his friend Jamal Edwards. Over 150 million records sold. Multiple Brits, Grammys, Ivor Novellos. Most-streamed artist on Spotify. More number-one singles than any other solo male artist in UK chart history.
More than the stats, Ed's legacy is connection. From buskin' on street corners to headlinin' Wembley — a ginger lad with a loop pedal and a guitar became the most British of pop phenomena. A songwriter for everyone, everywhere.
