Ed Sheeran fans all say the same thing as 'superfan leaks' new song
Ed Sheeran fans have said that the singer is a genius after a 'superfan' ended up 'leaking' his new song. The Lego House singer will be releasing his latest album, Play, in September, and releasing three singles ahead of the album — including the hit Azizam. While no official title has come for the fourth single, it has been 'leaked' by Ed and a well known fan of his; only Rupert Grint, who played an obsessive Ed fan in the music video for Lego House. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ed Sheeran (@teddysphotos) In a post to his Instagram, Ed (who may or may not be currently involved in some hostage situation) sings the pre-chorus to the song before the camera cuts to Rupert, who begins lip syncing to the chorus, with fans delighted at the reunion 14 years later. 'Omg!!!!' one person commented, while another added 'video of the year already.' Ed's team also joked on Twitter (X) that his account was 'hacked 'and that the song was 'leaked' by Rupert — saying in a 'statement' 'We've been made aware that Ed's social media accounts have been accessed by an unknown party. Unreleased music has been posted on his profiles.' Ed Sheeran. Pic:for Coachella 'We have been working hard on securing the accounts, and from looking into this further we have managed to obtain a distorted picture of the person of interest who appears to be wearing an orange hoodie [a reference to the Lego House music video].' 'Relevant officials are now aware of the breach and our findings,' the faux statement added, before joking 'However, we have made the decision to keep the song up because it's a banger.' Ed recently spoke about his Irish heritage after he caused a heavy discussion online when he said he was 'culturally Irish,' with him revealing last month that he actually holds an Irish passport. Ed recently spoke about how he felt culturally Irish in a podcast appearance — later proving himself with an Irish passport. Pic: Leah Farrell/ After saying on the Louis Theroux podcast that he feels culturally Irish, Ed has expanded on his comments — saying that he was brought up around Irish culture, and has an Irish podcast (which was recently ranked the most powerful in the world, in case you missed it!). 'My dad is Irish. My family is Irish,' Ed wrote in an Instagram comment that he later shared on his story. 'I have an Irish passport. The culture I was brought up around in is Irish. The first music I learnt was Irish. 'Just coz I was born somewhere else doesn't change my culture, I can be allowed to feel connection to a place [that] half of my family is from.'
