Fact is, he’s a very capable guitarist whose career has probably done a hell of a lot more towards getting people to take up guitar than any number of middle-aged Blues noodlers (as much as I’d rather listen to the latter any day of the week, for full disclosure..)
I think vocals were generally live and backing recorded?
I've no great interest in Sheeran but my son went to see him live and Ed managed 90 minutes to 10,000 people with just himself, an acoustic guitar and a looper.
Elvis Costello? Liked him back in the day but really doesn’t do anything for me now.
I can't help about the shape I'm in, I can't sing I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to
So to digress... I had one of those mini acoustic guitar things for all of 5 minutes and just couldn't see the point - it didn't sound particularly great and I didn't particularly get any sense of joy playing it. I just thought it was silly.
I'm pretty much the same when it comes to ukelele's.

Lowering my expectations has succeeded beyond my wildest dreams.

As for his current material and performances, it's just embarrassing and I think that's closer to fact than opinion.
I heard him being interviewed by Nihal on 5 Live the other week and you wouldn't even have thought he was rock star Rod Stewart, he just sounded like some random old bloke you chat to at a bus stop and then can't get shot of.
Just retire, for fuck's sake Rod, you don't need the money.
i suspect he couldn’t afford to stop working. I doubt they made much money from record sales in later years.
