Ed Sheeran sings for England team

England's Euro 2020 squad have been given a private performance from pop star Ed Sheeran as they relax ahead of their last-16 showdown with Germany. 'Shape of You' singer Sheeran, one of the world's top selling musicians, was given special permission to enter England's Covid-secure bubble. The 30-year-old Sheeran is a fan of League One side Ipswich and the Grammy Award winner was at Wembley to watch England's 0-0 draw with Scotland in the group stage. England midfielder Jordan Henderson said it was a privilege to meet Sheeran and watch him perform. "I have to say he was a top man. He was very warm and as a performer everyone knows how good he is," Henderson told reporters on Thursday.
