So there is a rumor that King Charles III asked Ed Sheeran to perform at his coronation concert this weekend, and he said no. He wasn’t the only musician.
So the King had to cross the pond and ask two American Idols if they would do it. And Katy Perry and Lionel Richie said yes.
Well, that leaves American Idol without two judges on Sunday’s live show. So what is the singing competition going to do? They are going to ask Sheeran and Alanis Morissette to fill in for them.
So if we are getting two people who are part of the United Kingdom to fill in for the Yankees, why can’t we make a trade permanent? You oughta know, I would rather them over the two who can’t go all night, all night long. What about you?
Ed Sheeran is one of the most well-known musicians in the world, but how well do we know him?
The singer teamed up with Disney+ to release a four-part documentary that lets us into his life and music.
“I’ve always been very guarded in my personal and private life; the only documentary I’ve ever made has been one that focused on my songwriting,” said Sheeran. “Disney approached me to make a four-part documentary, and it felt like the right time to open the door and let people in. I hope people enjoy it.”
In Ed Sheeran: The Sum of It All, he will talk about his love affair with his wife, Cherry Seaborn, the sudden loss of his best friend, Jamal Edwards, and his rise to superstardom.
We will see never before seen videos, live performances, and interviews with loved ones.
It will be an in-depth look into one of the biggest rock stars of our time. So I don’t know why anyone would want to miss it when it debuts on May 3rd, two days before the release of his album Subtract.

Thanks to technology,, we have seen singers from so many different perspectives. However, I don’t ever remember seeing someone through the eyes of a guitar.
But now we have because Ed Sheeran put his phone in the sound hole and recorded his reflection in the mirror.
And now the guitar finally knows what it looks like when it played by someone. And we got to see what the guitar sees.
Too bad the sound hole creates a muffled sound because it is missing out on Sheeran’s soothing beautiful voice.
Whether you are a fan of Sheeran or not (I can’t believe there are people who don’t like his music), you will say this is the coolest thing you saw all day. Unless you saw a baby being born because nothing can top that.
Ed Sheeran has a new album coming out, and today he released a sneak peek of the first single, Eyes Closed.
The singer has already said that Subtract is about some of the tough times he went through recently. In a matter of months, his wife was diagnosed with a tumor while she was pregnant with their second child that doctors couldn’t deal with until after she gave birth, and he also lost his friend Jamal Edwards suddenly.
As I was listening to Eyes Closed, I felt it was Sheeran singing about his friend. And then I closed my eyes and started picturing my late parents. So I started to cry. But I wasn’t sad.
If this is what his album, which comes out on May 5th, is going to be like, I will make sure to stock up on tissues and make an appointment with my therapist because I am going to need both.
Ed Sheeran had a lot of stuff to get off of his chest, so he talked about it on social media.
First, he announced that he will be releasing his new album, Subtract, on May 5th. And it is available to preorder today.
Second, the singer recently revealed that he has been going through a lot emotionally, but he didn’t say what it was. Today, he opened up about everything that has happened to him over the last year.
I had been working on Subtract for a decade, trying to sculpt the perfect acoustic album, writing and recording hundreds of songs with a clear vision of what I thought it should be. Then at the start of 2022, a series of events changed my life, my mental health, and ultimately the way I viewed music and art.
Writing songs is my therapy. It helps me make sense of my feelings. I wrote without thought of what the songs would be, I just wrote whatever tumbled out. And in just over a week I replaced a decade’s worth of work with my deepest darkest thoughts.
Within the space of a month, my pregnant wife got told she had a tumour, with no route to treatment until after the birth. My best friend Jamal, a brother to me, died suddenly, and I found myself standing in court defending my integrity and career as a songwriter. I was spiralling through fear, depression and anxiety. I felt like I was drowning, head below the surface, looking up but not being able to break through for air.
As an artist I didn’t feel like I could credibly put a body of work into the world that didn’t accurately represent where I am and how I need to express myself at this point in my life. This album is purely that. It’s opening the trapdoor into my soul. For the first time, I’m not trying to craft an album people will like, I’m merely putting something out that’s honest and true to where I am in my adult life.
I hope his wife is better now and the tumor was benign.
When it comes to Subtract, it sounds like the greatest songwriter of his generation is going to release an album that is raw and vulnerable. And I can’t wait to hear every word that comes out of his mouth. Although, I might need therapy when I am done listening to it.
