This is hands down, the best interview I've ever seen be presented. The interviewers ask deep, and insighful questions. They allow space for the person to actually answer, instead of talking over them. So refreshing. I actually feel like I've got to know Ed from this. I can't stand most American talk shows, and this is by far a balanced interview, it was a pleasure to listen. Thank you.

We are glad you enjoyed the interview. 😁

Loving the interview style : not many shows would dare or could pull off a question like "If you could choose one trait from yourself you don't want your child to have what would it be ?" The atmosphere is relaxed and laid back, and it allows the host to ask interesting questions. Clearly the other guests enjoy it so much they also joined in.

This is such an amazing interview. Far too many interviewers make it all about them and how entertaining they can be. I listened to this to the end. I love Ed Sheeran and now I love him even more.

Listen to his Old Stuff . Like plus (+) album, he's so pure in it .

[@simonegolbach657]

I am always struck by how absolutely grounded Ed Sheeran is. You can't go wrong when your mum is a golden angel. Ed has been taught and knows in his heart that God's love, that he finds in family and friends is the most important thing in life. Not fame or fortune. God bless him

[@AbsoluteAudits]

As someone who’s worked with Ed from very early on, I’ve had the pleasure of Imogen. She’s such a kind and lovely lady, so it’s no wonder Ed turned out the way he has. I once did something very small for his mum, and in return she sent me a thank you note with some handmade jewellery.

My goodness, Ed is a wonderful young man and seems to have his priorities in order. It does not make your life perfect, but as you listen, Ed is putting forth that effort, which gives him the return. His family must truly be proud of him. The World loves Ed's music because we can relate. Thank you Ed for making life better for all. ❤ Great interview!!

[@headachebaby]

Wow...this was a deep and personal interview and makes Ed Sheeran such a great man. He stated very honest and valuable information: 1. His greatest achievements is his wife and family 2. Not having a phone so he can focus on in-person conversations 3. Instagram is a promotional tool; don't post selfies because it suggests you are unhappy and looking for others to validate you 4. You may not be the most talented person but you can worker than the most talented person to become better 5. Be on time and respect other people's time

[@lizzy212jag]

Ed Sheeran is the most amazing guy in the world. He is, hands down the most brilliant, talented, singer / songwriter in the world. I know because I've been around for most of them. I'm 72, and I just love this guy. I've listened to everyone through the years, from Elvis, to Buddy Holly, the Stones, the Doors, Eric Clapton , The Who, Coldplay, Maroon 5, BB King, Sir. Elton John, the Beatles, I love it all, all music. Ed Sheeran is without a doubt the best. Absolutely, 100% And I have to say The Brit Awards should be ashamed for giving Adele , the awards she got, because she doesn't hold a candle to Ed Sheeran. Thanks for your interview with him. It was one of the best interviews I've seen. He's so real, and down to earth it looks like a joy to talk to him.

[@mklanting]

I’m such a big fan of Ed’s. He not only is a fantastic artist but his humble personality amplifies my adoration for him.

[@tommiemusic]

This felt more like a deep chat with mates you haven’t seen for years at 3am rather than an interview

[@fotosinet]

This interview could easily be used for study material at universities. Incredible energy and incredible spontaneous reactions and given/received answers. It is a story telling interview not based on (strictly) prepared answers but just going with the flow, exactly as a debate or meeting between two or more people goes when they chat. Also what amazes me how good listeners (and thinkers) are all of them. Ed also gave many excellent real life examples about modern factors that does not bring long term happiness and this knowledge can be worthy for younger generations, especially because he is very right person whose voice can reach those younger fans. When I finished watching, I was certain I watched a video of millions views. Well, boutique interview for sure, that is why it is highly valuable. Keep doing great things. Bookmarked and subscribed.

Ed is so grounded and he knows what matters most in life. He earns a living by creating music which he loves and is very good at. Well, my instagram pictures are now my album. Pictures in papers fade . Whenever I go over my instagram pictures of my vacations it evokes memories. When I get too old to walk I will open my instagram and fb album and remember the sights, the emotions, the smell, the climate and even the taste of food.

[@ColeenHein]

Wow. This was a great interview. Congratulations, Ed Sheeran. You have learned at 30 what I learned during my 40's and the first half of my 50's. You, my man, will go a LONG way with the thoughts and beliefs that you have expressed in this interview. You are strong and courageous. You are your own person - you do not belong to anyone else. But you are loyal beyond belief to your wife and your child, you are loyal to who you know yourself to be, and in that, you love others as greatly as you can. This was all evident in this interview. Thank you for being willing to share this with the rest of the world. I pray that many, many people will be impacted, inspired, and changed by your example. I will admit that I know all the words to almost 100% of the ABBA songs, but I know none of the words to your songs - although if I am lucky, I will be able to give you proper attribution when I hear you on the radio. ;) And I CERTAINLY do enjoy your music when I hear it. And when the announcer says "Ed Sheeran", I'm like, "Of COURSE that was him! DANG, he's GOOD!" I do hope for you that one day, you WILL be as long-lasting and as well-known and loved as ABBA. You keep that solid footing underneath you, Ed. Stick to what you know works well - in life, love, and music. And if it ain't working well no more, then find what does. You do your career YOUR way. Make your music YOUR way. Respect others, love each person as you love yourself, know your boundaries and stick to them, and you will go far. As for me right now - I'm going to go nab some of your music and give it a good listen. Turn the volume up. That sort of thing. :) Cheers, mate.

[@joem2130]

Check out his early stuff first! I think his new stuff can be easily relatable once you've followed his discography. He has some incredibly specific and intimate songs that don't hit the radio. Small Bump is a good one. ❤️

[@magnacz]

Ed Sheeran great guy !!! He has matured and is still a sweetheart. His attitude about not giving a fuck is wonderful. Lucky for him that he has choices and sense of humor. Is aware of what is good for his soul and his creativity. Hope he will have few disappointments in life and if they come around will improve his music and outlook on life.

[@xlleona4532]

He’s already experienced a lot of up’s and down’s (and enough disappointments) in his life. And he has always processed those emotions though his music.

[@adamshaheen2424]

have u heard his music xD?

[@cmavradma]

He has songs about losing people, being cheated on , love loss and they have a basis in the reality of his life experiences. He has talked for years about having a family and love being the things one should work to accomplish and that being real success. You must be new to Ed Sheeran.
