"Canada, can't wait to come
back for my fourth MMVAs," said Ed

hope this isn't an early April Fool's joke."

Internationally acclaimed singer-songwriter, beatboxer, and
guitarist Ed Sheeran's eclectic
blend of acoustic pop, folk, and hip-hop has catapulted him to the
top of the charts. The multi-platinum selling artist has sold-out
back-to-back headlining tours, which included a trio of shows at
New York's legendary Madison Square Garden. In 2012, Sheeran toured
North America as the opening act
for Taylor Swift's The Red
Tour, before releasing his second studio album entitled
X (pronounced "multiply"), which has reached #1 on album
charts across the globe, including in Canada, the U.S., and the U.K. Nominated for
six GRAMMY awards, Sheeran recently won British Album of the Year
and British Male Solo Artist at the 2015 BRIT AWARDS, and was named
2014's biggest-selling global male solo artist by the International
Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), outselling
Sam Smith, Beyoncé, Coldplay, and
many more.
