BIRTHDAY HIT

Ed Sheeran celebrates his 26th birthday by dropping a new song… and gets a VERY unusual ‘cake’ made for him

Ed released a new song called How Would Feel (Paean) much to his fans delight

ED Sheeran has celebrated his 26th birthday by dropping a new track much to the delight of his fans.

The global superstar surprised his followers by releasing new song, How Would You Feel (Paean) ahead of the release of his new album Divide.

While the first two releases off his third record smashed the charts with their upbeat vibe, his new song is a stripped back ballad which he performs on acoustic guitar.

Announcing the news to his fans, he wrote on Twitter: "How Would You Feel (Paean) comes out tomorrow at midnight wherever you are in the world, its not the next single, but is one of my favzzzzz."

He later added: "As it’s my birthday I dropped a new song called How Would You Feel (Paean), give it a listen while I eat some cake x."

No doubt his new track will bring Ed the same success as Castle On The Hill and Shape Of You which saw him become the first artist to debut in the top two spots on the Official UK Singles Chart in the same week.

Meanwhile, the singer has fans all over the world including Pizza Express who teamed up with food artist Prudence Staite to create a huge pizza 'cake' with his face on, made out of the ingredients of his favourite pizza, the Calabrese.

The epic 2ft 4 tall creation affectionately called the 'Ed-Abrese' consists of five spicy layers, each of which are tributes to Ed's incredible career.

One layer is dedicated to the singer’s ‘Multiply’ album, sandwiched between layers of succulent spicy sausage and red and yellow peppers.

Another features the iconic Martin classical guitar in dough form; adorned by bespoke Peppadew pepper birthday candles, and a layer of Gran Milano cheese.

Prudence said: “As one of the world’s best-loved artists, Ed Sheeran will surely have scores of presents and well-wishes on his birthday; however I’m fairly confident that a gigantic homage to his favourite pizza recipe isn’t going to be one of them. Have a fantastic birthday Ed!”

Meanwhile, Ed was pictured filming Carpoool Karaoke with James Corden earlier this week.

and were seen driving around the streets of LA in a vehicle laden with cameras as they shot the scenes needed for the latest edition to the series.
