I'm not hugely into listening to his music, but I do have a lot of respect for Ed. He's so unlikely in so many ways, to be a huge successful popstar - he's not got boy band looks, he plays a guitar, he's mostly a one man show, usually dressed like somebody helping out at a church hall on a Saturday, yet there he is still despite all of that. Good on him

Here's hoping Sheeran has the good sense to do a Jarvis Cocker by baring his arse towards the audience.

I thought there was a hint of Johnson.

Sheer-Jo chic is the new heroin chic for men.

His Dad is part of Elton Johns management. He was groomed for fame from a child.

He’s got a face like a startled tortoise

Jonathangus · February 2022

Is it just me, or is that jacket cut really badly?

joeW · February 2022

It’s that natural, comfortable looking stance that finishes the look. Get in my son

That's not entirely correct Lustycourtier.
It's not his dad but Stuart Camp who met Sheeran in 2009 and yes Camp did sign him when he worked for Rocket Music management (Elt's company). Camp left Rocket in 2014 to form his own company (according to wikipedia etc...).
Sheeran's Dad was an art curator / lecturer.

I guess you're right in terms of Sheeran's manager knowing how give him a leg up in the industry with the connections / Elton John etc.. but there's no question that Sheeran had to work hard, tour, write the songs. You've got to give him that.

As for the suit (!) - who tailored that ? The jacket is way too tight (or did Sheeran put on a load of weight? Or maybe they were going for that Pete Doherty / wearing a suit that's too small for you chic look? But then the trousers and sleeve lengths are cut beautifully. Oh well..enough of my sartorial meanderings...

Could be intentional... it has people talking, which is half the game in pop music.

axisus · February 2022

Whoever thought of that legs apart power posture is as dumb as the people that use it.

Yeah that's what I mean, choosing a good manager (or being spotted by one) is just good sense surely? I vaguely recalled that his parents were both in the art world, so thank you for doing the detective work so I didn't have to haha

He seems like he went about forming his craft and developing his fan base the right way, in fact with all the online stuff he was ahead of the game as all that stuff seems normal now, but back then was only just kicking off. I distinctly remember hearing his Nandos rap with Example in 2010 which was a year before his album was released, and I'm not normally an online rap guy so he must have had some impressive reach. I know it was 2010 as that was the year I met my Mrs and our first date was in Nandos... But I digress

Terrible suit though

I think the suit's fine but Ed is cut really badly.

This "occupy more space makes you powerful" shit does a whole heap of damage.
The people in suits with their legs wide apart look like total, complete, thorough, utter, outright, veritable knob-heads.

I wouldn't pee on any of them if they were on fire.

George Osbourne. No stranger to U-turns himself, he has nothing on Johnson.

Howdy, Stranger!
