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.

Westminster’s Register of Members’ Financial Interests shows he’s lapped up thousands of pounds of VIP treatment at events to see the likes of Adele, England’s cricket aces and his favourite popstar Ed Sheeran in concert.
Viewers cringed when soon after the 44-year-old entered the jungle he burst out into Ed’s ballad, Perfect. Hancock told fellow late arrival Seann Walsh his music tastes were “quite mainstream” before an Alan Partridge-style boast: “Love him, yeah… and I’m from Suffolk as well.” The ex-Health Secretary got to see Ed perform at last year’s Jingle Bell Ball after being gifted free tickets worth £400.
Hancock registered two free tickets to the Brits in February this year - worth a cool £2,040.
