From out of nowhere British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran has become one of the biggest-selling names in music. Only Adele and One Direction sold more albums in New Zealand last year.
"Adele nicked my parrot," says British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran.
"I was dressed up as a pirate and I had a parrot on me and she nicked it for her kid."
Although this is exactly the kind of bonkers behaviour we dream the world's biggest pop stars get up to in their spare time, Sheeran has a good excuse. He turned 22 a couple of weeks ago while still in Los Angeles after the Grammys and, to celebrate, played a fancy-dress gig on the big night.
He had flown a bunch of friends over from England for the occasion, and some higher-profile fans also turned up - among them Adele (clearly), Ben Harper and Sir Elton John, with whom Sheeran had duetted at the Grammys on his own Song of the Year-nominated The A Team. As you do.
