Ed Sheeran was sleeping when he won his two Grammys.
The 26-year-old singer was chosen as the recipient of the Best Pop Solo Performance for ‘Shape of You’ and Best Pop Vocal album for ‘Divide’ at the 60th Grammy Awards on Sunday night (28.01.18), but not only was Ed not at the prestigious event held at Madison Square Garden in New York City but he didn’t even watch the ceremony unfold because he was tucked up in bed.
Posting a photo of his cat on Instagram, he wrote: "Woke up to the news I won two grammys last night. Thank you! This little fluff-ball is doing a bit of a celebratory dance, lots of love to everyone xx. (sic)"
When Ed’s ‘Shape of You’ was announced as the winner of the Best Pop Solo Performance Grammy, he was booed by some audience members who are believed to have wanted Kesha to win for her single ‘Praying’ which was inspired by her fight to overcome sexual abuse.
The other nominated acts were Kelly Clarkson, Lady Gaga and Pink.
Kesha, 30, provided one of the performances of the night when she was joined on stage by the likes of Andra Day, Camila Cabello, Bebe Rexha, Cyndi Lauper and Julia Michaels for an emotional rendition of ‘Praying’.
Bruno Mars was the big winner at this year’s Grammy Awards after he picked up six prizes.
The 32-year-old singer took home the evening’s top prizes, Album of the Year and Record of the Year for ’24k Magic’, and Song of the Year for ‘That’s What I Like’, as well as Best R&B Album, and Best R&B Performance and Best R&B Single for ‘That’s What I Like’.
In addition, his LP was also recognised as Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical.
