“What Ed has accomplished is truly incredible,” Sheeran’s manager Stuart Camp said in a statement, according to a Guardian report.
“To even be in the same ballpark as [U2] or spoken in the same sentence with a touring act like that is very humbling.”
The record-breaking tour was for his 3rd studio album, Divide. The award-winning album houses some of Ed’s biggest hits, such as “Shape of You,” “Perfect,” “Castle on the Hill,” “Dive,” and “Happier.” – Rappler.com
