Ed Sheeran has beaten a second copyright law suit just weeks after a jury ruled in his favour in New York over a case involving one of his biggest songs and Marvin Gaye's Let's Get It On.
The Shape of You singer, 32, issued a passionate statement following his original victory earlier this month, declaring how he will "never be a piggy bank" for people to shake and reflecting on the fact he had to miss his grandmother's funeral due to the trial.
Heirs of Gaye's co-writer Ed Townsend brought the case after feeling Ed's hit song Thinking Out Loud shared similarities to 1973 track Let's Get It On. They failed to convince jurors Ed copied elements of Gaye's track when penning his own hit and a verdict ruled in Ed's favour on May 4.
