Ed Sheeran Talks Winning Lawsuit in First Interview Since End of Trial Over 'Thinking Out Loud' Song

Ed Sheeran is speaking out in one of his first interviews since winning the lawsuit over the “Thinking Out Loud” song.

The 32-year-old singer-songwriter spoke about winning the trial in an interview with Elvis Duran and the Morning Show on Friday (May 5) while celebrating the release of his new album Subtract.

Ed was busy with radio interviews that morning as he also stopped by the SiriusXM Studios, as pictured here, while in New York City.

“The one thing that felt like the biggest win for me was, afterwards, Katherine Griffin Townsend and her family and everyone came up to me, hugged me and said, ‘We believe you,’” Ed said on the Elvis Duran show. “And I got to walk away … from it knowing I did the right thing.”

Ed was sued by Marvin Gaye‘s producer Ed Townsend‘s estate after being accused of stealing parts of the song “Let’s Get It On.” The trial happened during the release week of his new album and documentary, as well as the funeral of his grandmother.

“On both sides, it takes a massive toll — both personally and financially — but it’s about heart and integrity, and that’s why I fought it was, I can’t be accused of something that I didn’t do. So I just had to prove that,” Ed said.

Ed also revealed a lot more details about his life in another new interview.
