Elsewhere before the celebrations, Sheeran was gifted a soccer t-shirt, which he signed on air and donated to Town TV along with a signed guitar.

In other news, Sheeran has just released a live bonus version of his latest studio album ‘Autumn Variations’. Subtitled ‘(Fan Living Room Sessions)’, the project features live renditions of each song on the LP, recorded and performed live from the homes of 14 of his fans.

In a two-star review of ‘Autumn Variations’, his second album of the year following ‘-‘ (subtract), NME said the album “isn’t a flying start to this next phase of [Sheeran’s] catalogue” and “is akin to aimlessly swiping through Instagram, blurry snaps of followers’ leafy happenings whizzing past in a distracted daze”.

Nick Levine wrote of ‘-‘ in a three-star review for NME: “Most of ‘-’ is doggedly one-paced, an often drawback of Dessner’s mellow production stylings. If it becomes a little samey in places, it could be argued that this is an authentic representation of the mental health issues Sheeran was working through at the time. Certainly, some of his lyrical refrains – breaking waves, falling tears – add to the impression that ‘-‘ is an unfiltered snapshot of this artist’s mindset at an especially low ebb.”
