Ed's 2018 tour news; which is on course to become the UK's biggest tour routing
of 2018; closely follows the troubadours' phenomenal Glastonbury headline
performance. Commanding thousands, at the Pyramid Stage, on Sunday evening,
pulling in 1 of the festivals' biggest ever crowds, and with over 3 million
viewers tuning in from home, Ed continues his rise as one of the world's most
successful and unique musical talents. Next year's tour will see 26 year old
Sheeran return to Wembley Stadium for the first time since his record breaking
stint in 2015, when he became the 1st ever artist to play the stadium solo [with
just his loop pedal and guitar] over 3 consecutive, sold out nights.
Released in March this year, Ed's 3rd studio
album:- 'divide' reigns as 2017's biggest selling album of the
year thus far, having sold over 8 million copies, globally, in the space of
three months: 2 million sales come from the UK alone. Not to mention Ed's
gigantic comeback single:- 'Shape of You' which is discribed as
a track that has surpassed 1.5 BILLION streams in less than 6 months!
It was recently announced that Ed, who was
recently awarded a Songwriters Hall of Fame 2017 Hal David Starlight Award for
his contribution to music, is soon to be honoured with an MBE for his services
to music and charity.
