Pop star Ed Sheeran has been on a stage of a different sort this past week, defending himself in court against a claim of plagiarism. 'I'm obviously very happy with the outcome of the case,' he said in New York City on Thursday.
."And then I went into this, like, really, really public high-profile court case where you're being sort of shouted at every day and called a liar and a thief and stuff. So, I'd written about, you know, the fear, or depression, or anxiety, or all of these things that had been encapsulated in that time, were what the songs ended up being about."
At Kings Theatre, in Brooklyn, N.Y., about an hour before taking the stage for the sold-out debut of his new album, Sheeran seemed decidedly relaxed."I'm quite, like, comfortable in my skin," he said."I know who I am and what I do."CBS Newsbeing so comfortable in your skin?" asked Doane. The British musician has been selling out stadiums on his"Mathematics" tour, which just started in the U.S. Part of what makes the artist Ed Sheeran so successful is that he is willing to expose that human side."Really small," he said."I had red hair. I had these big pink glasses. I had a stutter. This is before I played music, so I didn't have anything impressive that I could offer, and I was just weird.
