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’s grandmother Ann Mary Sheeran has died. Ann Mary, known as Nancy by her nearest and dearest, inspired the hitmaker’s 2017 track Nancy Mulligan – Mulligan being his grandmother’s maiden name – and passed away peacefully at her care home in Ireland last Tuesday April 25.
An obituary penned for his grandma hailed Nancy as a “beloved wife of the late Bill and loving mother of Jim, Bill, Peter, Chris, John, MaryAnne, Bridget and the late Sally and sister of the late Thomas, Jim, May and Peggy”.
It goes on: “Deeply regretted by her loving sons, daughters, grandchildren, great grandchildren, sons-in-law, daughters-in-law, niece, nephews, relatives, friends and neighbours.” Nancy will be laid to rest tomorrow, 3 May, at St Patrick’s Church in Gorey, Ireland.
Ed’s song inspired by his grandma was based on her romance with his late grandfather William, despite the two coming from different religious backgrounds.
