British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran is back in court in New York City today, Monday May 1, as he faces the second week of a trial having been accused of ripping off the Marvin Gaye classic - 'Let's Get it On'.
The Suffolk-born singer was spotted outside the federal court with his guitar, having played his song in question 'Thinking Out Loud' to the court last week in an effort to convince them he had not lifted parts of the 1973 soul classic.
However, the family of Gaye's co-writer, Ed Townsend, have argued there are "striking similarities" between the two songs. His estate is suing Ed Sheeran for $100 million as a result of the claims. The Townsend family and their attorney Benjamin Crump, were also spotted outside the court on Monday.
