Synopsis
The first comprehensive biography of the Grammy winner, from shy kid with a stammer to worldwide star: &“Well-researched, entertaining.&”—Publishers Weekly With hits like &“Thinking Out Loud,&” and &“Shape of You,&” Ed Sheeran strikes chords in millions of listeners worldwide—a feat all the more staggering given that he couldn&’t even carry a tune until the age of fifteen. Bestselling biographer Sean Smith traces the astonishing journey of the shy little English boy with a stammer who recorded an album in his bedroom and grew up to become a global phenomenon, all the while avoiding flashy showmanship. With compelling new research and interviews, Smith delivers the story of Sheeran&’s remarkable parents, who supported their son&’s dream long before it seemed achievable; the friends and mentors who encouraged his raw talent; and the lovers who inspired his most famous songs. Smith describes the setbacks Sheeran faced before his fortunes were transformed by Elton John&’s management company, a record deal, and a song that changed everything—with some help from Taylor Swift. Now Sheeran has sold more than 150 million records worldwide and earned $432 million touring in 2018 alone—but still made time to play for just 400 people at a charity night to raise money for the homeless. As this captivating book reveals, there&’s no one quite like Ed. &“Sheeran fans will relish this well-told biography.&”―Publishers Weekly &“[Ed Sheeran] has a huge, rabid fan base that will love the story told here...A bio as affable as the subject himself...informative and inspiring.&”― Booklist
