Before his signing to Asylum Records (part of Atlantic Records) in early 2011, Ed had already gained a loyal following by touring relentlessly and selling tens of thousands of copies of self released E.P's through his website, digital stores and out of his backpack at gigs. His 5th E.P, 'No.5 Collaborations', (featuring hip-hop and grime favourites: Devlin, Wretch 32 and Wiley to name a few) peaked at #2 in the iTunes chart within 24 hours of its release. The only artist selling more copies than Ed at the time was Rihanna.
Since then, Ed has enjoyed great success with his debut single, 'The A Team', which has been sitting comfortably in side the Top 10 since its release in June, and a plethora of sold out shows including three consecutive homecoming gigs at Norwich's Waterfront.
His debut album, '+' is due for release Monday 12th September, and the new single 'You Need Me, I Don't Need You', is out next week.
Ed Sheeran's tour dates for 2012 are as follows:
Tue 10 January HMV Picture House, Edinburgh
Fri 13 January Manchester Academy, Manchester
Tue 17 January Civic Hall, Wolverhampton
Fri 20 January O2 Academy, Brixton
