Sean Smith
The first comprehensive adult biography of the beloved, redheaded “Shape of You” songster, complete with exclusive interviews and all-new research!
Grammy award winner 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 15. At 13 - then just a guitarist in a school rock band but today’s most successful solo star - he decided he would fly far higher than hometown fame. Within a year, he had recorded an album in his bedroom.
Best-selling biographer Sean Smith traces the astonishing journey of the shy little English boy with a stammer who, avoiding flashy showmanship, grew up to become a global phenomenon. 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 150 million records worldwide, earned $432 million touring in 2018 alone, and broke records with his 2018 UK tour. But he still made time to play for just 400 people at a charity night to raise money for the homeless last year.
As this captivating book reveals, there’s no one quite like Ed!

The bad: It was just slightly dull, but what really threw me off was the ending of the book. Rather than cutting it off at the natural conclusion , the writer added on the astrology charts of Sheeran and his family. How the stars and sun and alignments all have influence over him is interesting, but it was the weirdest thing to put it at the end instead of perhaps somewhere near the beginning (or better yet, not at all). Truthfully, I got fed up and quit during the middle of the final bit.
