It has been a good week for Ed Sheeran or, more specifically, his songwriting.
After winning a copyright court battle, the singer has been nominated as Songwriter of the Year at this year’s Ivor Novello awards.
But Ed says the experience of defending his track Shape of You against “baseless” claims that it ripped off
Sami Chokri and Ross O’Donoghue’s 2015 song Oh Why took its toll on him
professionally and mentally.
