Los Angeles, Feb 16 || Ed Sheeran has shared the reason he ditched his mobile phone and how the decision went on to inspire one of his songs. The Grammy-winning singer also revealed that he has switched to sending emails to communicate instead of texts.
During his recent Loop Tour stop at Sydney’s Accor Stadium, the 34-year-old singer opened up to fans about the fallout from his 2015 Marvin Gaye copyright lawsuit, which ended in his favour as the court ruled he did not copy Let’s Get It On, stating that the legal battle changed the way he communicates forever.
He told the audience: “In the last 10 years, if you’ve seen my name in the news it might be related to a lawsuit. I got sued for a song by someone else who said I’d stolen their song, and the only thing I could do, because I hadn’t done it, was take it to court and prove that I hadn’t done it.”
As part of the process, Sheeran was required to hand over his electronic devices so investigators could comb through messages and files, reports.
He quipped: “All I’ll say is that I’m glad there’s nothing weird on them, you know.”
