Ed Sheeran kisses wife Cherry in rare PDA before gushing Brit Award speech

Mark Sutherland February in the U.K. music industry is traditionally dominated by the BRIT Awards, and this year the ceremony returned to its customary slot, having been forced to move to May in 2021 by the pandemic.But, despite resuming its rightful place in the calendar with a star-studded line-up including Adele, Ed Sheeran and Liam Gallagher, the event posted its lowest-ever TV ratings with 2.7 million tuning in, down from 2.9m last year.However, bosses won’t be too concerned because, as in the U.S., TV ratings only tell part of the story: The ceremony also reported record digital engagement under chairman Tom March’s multi-platform plan.

Encanto fever continues as We Don’t Talk About Bruno settles in for a sixth week at Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart, racking up over 7.8 million UK streams over the past seven days.   The Disney movie’s grip on the UK Top 10 doesn’t slacken this week, either. Jessica Darrow’s Surface Pressure climbs back one spot to a re-peak of Number 3, while The Family Madrigal holds steady at Number 8.  

Ed Sheeran has paid tribute to Jamal Edwards and described how 'he would not be here without him professionally and personally'.The Shape of You hitmaker, 31, who was reportedly spotted offering his support to grieving mum Brenda Edwards at the vigil to remember the music mogul in West London Tuesday evening, took to Instagram to share touching words with his 37.1million followers. Ed posted a photograph with the SB.TV founder, who died on Sunday 20 aged 31, with the pair both wearing matching grey hoodies printed with 'The Grime University'. The singer-songwriter penned: "I haven’t posted anything coz I can’t find the words, I can’t reply coz I don’t know what to say.

Ed Sheeran was reportedly spotted offering his support to grieving mum Brenda Edwards and paying tribute to his late friend Jamal Edwards at the vigil to remember to music mogul in West London Tuesday evening. The Shivers hitmaker and his wife Cherry Seaborn were said to be in attendance to pay their respects to the music star, who helped a number of aspiring singers achieve their dream when he set up SBTV. Jamal and Ed became firm friends early on in the singer-songwriter's career, with Ed's music taking off due to his friend Jamal's efforts to get him exposure on the airwaves.

Ed Sheeran has revealed that he’s set to enter the studio with Bring Me The Horizon.On Tuesday night (February 8), Sheeran teamed up with the metal group for a reworked version of his 2021 track ‘Bad Habits’ to open the BRIT Awards 2022.Speaking to The Daily Star (via The List), Sheeran said that getting to perform with Bring Me The Horizon was “a dream” and they’re now “going to write a song together”.“I got in touch with [Oli Sykes] and we were going to write together but then the pandemic happened, so we were in touch – I’ve been a fan for a long time,” he said. “Oddly enough, that’s the kind of music I grew up listening to.”Elsewhere in the interview, Sheeran said: “’Bad Habits’ would be a bit of a wet fart if I was just going up there [at the BRITs] and playing it normally.

After last year's scaled back show, The Brit Awards 2022 went all out to give memorable performances and some incredible celebrity moments. Adele, 33, stole the show as she performed her now iconic I Drink Wine, picked up three gongs and tearfully dedicated her wins to her ex Simon Konecki, 47, and their son Angelo, nine. And who wouldn't notice the giant pear-shaped rock she had on her ring finger – sparking speculation that she's set to marry her boyfriend Rich Paul, 40, just weeks after it was reported they could be in trouble? We also saw Anne-Marie remind everyone of 63 year old Madonna's epic fall back in 2015, but the 30 year old Friends hitmaker quickly picked herself up and continued the performance, gaining much praise for doing so.

Ed Sheeran just announced some very big news!

Ed Sheeran is opening the 2022 Brit Awards!

Mark Sutherland If last year’s Brit Awards went out with something of a COVID-restricted whimper, this year’s ceremony came in with a bang.Several bangs in fact, as an unexpected mash-up between emo-metal hybrid Bring Me The Horizon and Ed Sheeran on the latter’s “Bad Habits” launched the show to, no doubt, the bewilderment of mums and dads tuning in at home and expecting the nice, ginger-next-door they usually see at events like this. The arena, however, was ablaze — quite literally, as the unlikely collaborators became the first of several performers to torch the stage.Held at The O2 Arena in south London, this year’s Brits — unlike last year’s event — took place in a country that is largely free of COVID restrictions.
