In the two and a half years since Ed Sheeran released his debut album + (pronounced 'plus'), he has won two Brit awards and an Ivor Novello. He is about to release his follow up album X (multiply).

"All the facts hold some truth, some of them are embellished, a lot of people still think Elton John is my manager." Three years ago, Ed Sheeran was playing his first ever Glastonbury festival. "I have to explain that he [Sir Elton] owns a management company that manages a lot of acts," the flame-haired troubadour offers by way of clarification. "My manager is one of many who works for it and from time to time Elton shows a bit of interest and helps out,"
His living circumstances may have remained the same but his career has gone into orbit since the early days. Sheeran's debut album + was certified quintuple platinum in the UK and, in 2012, he won two Brit Awards for best British male and British breakthrough act. He toured the US, supporting Taylor Swift and Snow Patrol and performed his Ivor Novello-winning single The A Team at the closing ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics.
Sheeran was one of the highlights of the recent BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend in Glasgow, where, aside from the 30,000 or so fans there to see him on the main stage, a singer from one of the headline acts also popped by to check out his act. Sheeran, who is rumoured to have dated singers Taylor Swift and Ellie Goulding, is keeping his mouth shut about the identity of the cheating ex.
Sheeran will be taking his new album out on the road across the UK soon, starting with Glastonbury and taking in dates in October at the O2 in London and cities including Leeds and Manchester, before ending up back in Glasgow, where he played to the Radio 1 audience. (Francisco Martins).
