Ed Sheeran is masterminding his own “superpop” band, reports Rolling Stone magazine.
As the music mag’s latest cover star, Ed has apparently revealed to journalists that he’s in the process of auditioning for the new band, and has “already written lots of songs for the group.”
The songs in question are allegedly “really, really decent,” with Sheeran describing the style as “Superpop, but obviously credible.”
26-year-old Ed, who recently returned to the music scene after a year long hiatus, says he’s going to put three or four boys together in a band, and bring them on a stadium tour with him.
“I want to do stadiums everywhere. Like George Strait’s level – he tours every four years, does a couple of stadiums and then fucks off again,” he said.
After releasing his new album ÷ earlier this year, Sheeran broke streaming site Spotify’s records.
Fans had been waiting for the drop since June 2014, when he released x.
