Amid much grief in his personal life, Ed Sheeran created his heart-wrenching sixth studio album, Subtract. His acoustic opener, Boat, particularly shines through with lyrics that are telling of the pain he encountered as he feared for the wellness of his loved ones. The man with the guitar lets his voice and guitar take charge in this rendition as he speaks of holding on to hope when there’s little to hold on to. Sheeran may be the most bankable star in the music industry for the last few years, but his…

Ed Sheeran is very aware of the contradictions at the heart of his superstardom. The first line of his new Disney+ documentary, The Sum of It All, finds the multi-platinum songwriter declaring: “I’m speccy, ginger hair, really short, English, from the countryside, who stutters and beatboxes. That guy doesn’t become a pop star.” Yet 16 Grammy nominations, 14 UK No 1 singles and 150m record sales later, here we are.His success has brought with it another paradox. For one of the biggest pop stars in the world, Sheeran’s…

A potentially ruinous lawsuit is nobody’s idea of the perfect album launch. But that’s kind of how it’s worked out for Ed Sheeran and his new LP.On Thursday night the wildly successful British singer dropped “-” — call the album “Subtract” in line with his four previous math-themed releases — just hours after a federal jury in New York decided that he hadn’t cribbed from Marvin Gaye’s Motown classic “Let’s Get It On” in writing his smash 2014 ballad “Thinking Out Loud.”The win was obviously good news for Sheeran, who’d…

It’s easy to supply a punchline to Ed Sheeran’s threat to quit music entirely if he lost his latest copyright court case. So easy, in fact, that on Thursday morning, listeners to Boom Radio – one of those stations aimed at listeners deemed too old for BBC Radio 2, which is big on adverts for retirement homes and not typically a hotbed of biting satire and snark – could have heard their breakfast show DJ doing precisely that, willing on Sheeran’s loss.It’s also easy to look askance at the aw-shucks tone of Sheeran’s…
