Ed Sheeran reveals he never ‘turned down’ performing at the King’s coronation concert

Ed Sheeran has insisted he never ‘turned down’ performing at the coronation concert - but simply wasn’t asked.

Media reports over the last few weeks suggested the singer had snubbed the royal affair, but appeared on SiriusXM over the bank holiday weekend to clear things up.

“I assume if they went online and went ‘what’s Ed doing on May 6’ they would go ‘oh he’s playing in Dallas’ so I think that’s what’s happened”, he said.

“I never ever turned it down. I wasn’t asked but yeah, I am excited to tune into that. Historic, isn’t it?”
