Grammy-winning singer Ed Sheeran has forcefully denied reports linking him to J.K. Rowling's New Year's Eve celebration. On January 21, 2025, Sheeran took to Instagram Stories to slam what he called "divisive and damaging" media reports. The 33-year-old musician directly addressed journalist India Willoughby, who had shared a tweet suggesting he attended Rowling's private party in Scotland. Sheeran emphatically stated, "I spent new year with my family and friends" and urged journalists to "research before you post things."

Fans of Ed Sheeran songs, including his hit "Perfect," were relieved when the original story from The Sun, which claimed Sheeran was at the party, was modified to remove his name. Willoughby later confirmed she was glad to hear Sheeran did not attend the event, acknowledging that her initial report was based on widespread media speculation.

As Sheeran gears up for his next Ed Sheeran tour, he remains focused on his music and spending time with his Ed Sheeran wife and family. For all of Ed's brilliant music, you really can't beat Exclusively Ed Sheeran on the YouRadio platform.
