Ed Sheeran doesn't use streaming services

Ed Sheeran doesn't use streaming services.



The 27-year-old star might be one of the most-streamed artists on Spotify - with 2017's 'Shape of You' having reached over 1.8 billion streams - but that doesn't mean he himself uses the app to find new music.



The ‘Thinking out loud’ hit maker instead prefers to go on recommendations from his pals or dig out earworms played on the wireless.



Speaking at The London Irish Centre on Wednesday, where Ed performed to an intimate crow of 400 people at their Camden-based venue, he said: "I go on what people give me, like CDs, or if they recommend something on iTunes.



"Or I listen to the radio.



"It usually takes three people to get me to listen to something.”
