Ed Sheeran has won a High Court battle over the copyright of his chart-topping 2017 single Shape of You, after fending off allegations that he is a musical “magpie” who steals from other artists.
The 31-year-old star was accused of ripping off 2015 song Oh Why by grime artist Sami Chokri when he wrote the No1 hit with Snow Patrol’s Johnny McDaid and producer Steven McCutcheon.
