“If I’d done what you’re accusing me of doing, I’d be an idiot to stand on stage in front of 20,000 people [and do that],” the singer testified.The Manhattan-based trial, which is expected to last around two weeks, arrives just as Sheeran gears up for a massive North American tour and the release of his upcoming album. Even if the trial doesn’t end in Sheeran’s favor and he makes good on his promise, at least fans can expect another opportunity to hear him live.
