This track definitely isn’t on his new album.
The remarkably sound Ed Sheeran would have you believe that his recent year away from music was for personal reasons, but we reckon the real reason is something more sinister. Ed actually went into exile after his life got flipped-turned upside down following an incident in west Philadelphia.
Despite the fact that he wasn’t born and raised there, we’ve heard that Sheeran was involved in an ugly altercation after shootin’ some b-ball outside of a nearby school. While this incident might have just been categorised as one little fight, the parents of the Lego House and Thinking Out Loud singer ultimately got scared.
What did they do? Well, they instantly sent him to live with his auntie and uncle in Bel Air.
That’s our story and we’re sticking to it, or, you know, the singer was recently a guest on the Capital Evening Show with Roman Kemp and a listener asked him to perform the iconic theme song. Believe what you like.
Sheeran’s new album definitely has Irish influences, but we didn’t spot this cover on the recently released tracklist.
Take a look.
