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.

Sheeran admitted the story was true, but insisted there was an explanation. “Elton John has been involved in my career from the get-go, and he buys me weird gifts,” Sheeran told Colbert. “Just, like, odd gifts, like sexual sort of objects.” READ MORE: Ed Sheeran Bought Elton John A ‘Giant Marble Penis’ For His 74th Birthday In preparation for Sir Elton’s 74th birthday last year, Sheeran decided to give a “massive marble penis” statue. “I got this huge, flopping, droopy thing,” Sheeran said. “I got a few different iterations — there was a big, erect, vein-y one.” The gift had the desired effect. “I gave it to him for his birthday and Elton was over the moon about it.
And then it got out in the press that I had done it,” he said. “And I would be doing interviews and people would be like, ‘Well, can I have one?'” READ MORE: Ed Sheeran Reveals ‘Naughty’ Gift He Sent Elton John: ‘That Might Be A Step Too Far’ One of those people was Smith. “Sam was recording at a studio up the road and Sam saw one of them and said, ‘Can I have one?’ And I said, ‘What would you like?'” Sheeran recalled. “And Sam said, ‘One the size of me.
One that’s six-foot-two.’ So there we go. That’s it.” During a recent appearance on “The Kelly Clarkson Show”, Smith confirmed the request, but never dreamed Sheeran would actually go through with it. “It’s actually wild, I thought it was a joke,” the “Stay With Me” singer said. “It’s a six-foot-two marble penis.
