Ed Sheeran has called for an end to “baseless claims” of plagiarism after winning a high court battle over whether he copied another artist’s track for his hit single Shape of You, the most streamed song in Spotify’s history.
At a trial last month, Sheeran and his Shape of You co-writers, Snow Patrol’s John McDaid and producer Steve McCutcheon, faced accusations that they had ripped off the 2015 song Oh Why by Sami Chokri and Ross O’Donoghue.
