He also said that the fact Ed is singing in Gaeilge makes it all the better. Not only are they offering fans a new way to enjoy "Thinking Out Loud," Ed and the host of other incredible musicians on the CD is revolutionizing the use of the Irish language. For well-known artists to use the language in music shows that it is possible for anyone to learn Gaeilge.

According to The Irish Examiner, even when the singer sensation is born and raised in England, it does not make him a lesser Irish lad, technically because he still has Irish blood in him because of his grandmother, who is currently living in Wexford. Ed has been spending quality time with his beloved grandmother before getting back to work for his upcoming Mega Croke Park concerts this summer of 2016.
According to the Sun, Ed Sheeran showed his sweet side as a loving son when he purchased a London loft for his parents so they can live across him from his £9 million house. The singer shared to the Sun, "I bought them a flat. They already have a house. I got them a flat and a car in London so they can stay there. It's opposite me as well. My thing is, I bought a house about a mile away from them where we live in a countryside, and I bought a flat and a house pretty much opposite each other in London. So when I have kids, when they start getting a little bit irritating, I've got the grandparents there."
