Ed Sheeran is proof that nice guys finish first. His first album + , sold almost four million copies and his current hit single “Sing,” which features
Pharrell Williams, is quickly becoming the hit song of the summer. But despite his rising superstar status, Sheeran has remained as humble as ever, so much so that he seems to be one of the rare folks in Hollywood who will never let fame go to his head. The red-headed crooner tells Parade magazine’s latest issue, “It’s the time of being polite. Radio stations aren’t going to play you if you show up late. You have to be respectful and do your job.” Although the singer admits he doesn’t have a squeaky clean past, he prefers to take responsibility for his actions—unlike many other “entitled” celebs.
