Ed Sheeran is due to play a string of concerts around Ireland next month. The Shape Of You singer will perform to thousands of fans across the country, with shows in Cork, Galway, Belfast, and Dublin.

Ahead of the Thinking Out Loud singer’s gigs, Aiken Promotions have issued a warning to fans about his upcoming Irish shows.

They issued a statement asking fans not to queue for the gig. “The venue gates will open at 5 pm. No early queueing will be permitted."

They have also advised concertgoers not to bring a bag to the concert.

“Please do not bring a bag unless it is totally necessary. People without bags will be fast-tracked. If you must bring a bag it needs to be smaller than A4 size. Bags under A4 size will be subject to a search which will result in unnecessary queuing,” they warned.

The organisers urged people to check the date on their ticket before attending the concert. The Galway Girl singer has nine Irish dates lined up so make sure to check the venue and date details on your ticket.

Ed Sheeran has reportedly been asked to perform at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding, the same day he is due to perform in Dublin's Pheonix park.

According to US Weekly, the singer has already been approached by the Royal couple, though it it not yet known whether her accepted the offer.

A source told the publication: “Prince Harry has personally requested Ed perform at his wedding”.

While this may come as one of the greatest honours of Ed's career so far, the news sparks disappointment for many Irish fans.

The Royal wedding falls on the same Ed is due to perform the last of three gigs scheduled for Dublin's Pheonix park, though given the short flight time between Dublin and London, it's possible that the 26-year-old could do both in the same day.

Kensington Palace announced earlier this week that the wedding ceremony will begin at midday at St. George's Chapel, followed by a private reception for close friends and family.

Ed is yet to comment on the news, but we're hoping the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity doesn't put the Dublin gig in jeopardy.

Last night's Grammy Awards ceremony was full of touching moments and gripping performances, but few caught the attention of the viewing public quite like Kesha's powerful rendition of her song, Praying.

Joined by a host of female singers all dressed in white, the singer gave an emotionally charged performance of the song she wrote amid the very public lawsuit against her former producer Dr. Luke, who she accused of sexual and emotional abuse.

Cyndi Lauper, Camila Cabello, Julia Michaels and Andra Day were just some of the women to join the star on stage.

The fierce performance ended with Kesha wiping tears from her face as she hugged her fellow artists.

Earlier in the night, Praying lost out to Ed Sheeran's Shape of You in the Best Pop Solo Performance category, leaving many angered fans questioning the judging process.

Some argued that Ed's hit single, which contains lyrics about admitting a woman's body, was not an appropriate winner given that the award organisers had thrown their support behind the Time's Up and #MeToo movements.

Unsurprisingly, Twitter had a thing or two to say about the whole debacle.

Speaking to The Sun, Sir Elton John admitted that he couldn't wrap his head around the omission, insisting that "Shape Of You is probably the most successful single in the whole world last year. That it wasn’t nominated, is, to me, a travesty."

“But it’s all about politics. I don’t understand it. I never have understood awards shows.”

There comes a point in everyone's life when they just need to throw caution to the wind and buy four houses next to each other, right?

Yeah. we're not quite convinced either, but then again, we're not Mr Ed Sheeran.

According to emerging reports this morning, the singer has purchased four houses alongside each other in a Suffolk village approximately two hours outside of London.

Ed, who recently got engaged to his long-term girlfriend Cherry Seaborn, is the talk of residents in the area, with neighbours dubbing the move the birth of 'Sheeranville'.

The 26-year-old star has essentially created his own country estate with the extravagant purchases – a move which neighbours eagerly welcome.

"He is just a down to earth Suffolk boy at heart, so who can blame him for wanting to settle down here? It is a lovely part of the world," one villager told the press.

The buildings will feature a custom-made pub, underground cinema, swimming pool, jacuzzi and two entertainment rooms. Natch.

Suffolk Coastal District Council approved Mr Sheeran's plans last September.

Catapulting into the public's consciousness in 2011 with the release of his debut single The A-Team, there's no denying the phenomenal trajectory of the British singer's career.

And while die-hard Ed fans may anticipate the release of numerous future albums, it seems the 26-year-old isn't quite as sure of that.

Ed, who announced his engagement to girlfriend Cherry Seaborn on Saturday, recently revealed that he expects his ambitious streak to dissolve somewhat once the couple decide to start a family.

Speaking to The Daily Star, the Shape of You singer admitted: "My ambition is going to go to zero as soon as I have kids."

Reflecting on his current priorities, the Grammy Award-winning artist suggested that they will all undoubtedly take a back seat once he becomes a father.

"I’m going to be like, ‘I do not really care anymore as I have another life to take care of’." he said.

“It is totally understandable because you have children and your ambition shifts to be like, ‘I want to be a good father.' he added.
