Ed Sheeran played a celebrity show last night in the Hamptons at the tiny Stephen Talkhouse in Amagansett.
Lots of A listers turned up according to reports including Paul McCartney, who lives down the street, plus Angelica Huston, Stella McCartney, Billy Joel, Jerry Seinfeld, John Mayer, Howard Stern, Jon Bon Jovi, James Corden, Warner Bros. Discovery chief David Zaslav, Patriots owner Robert Kraft, Gwyneth Paltrow, Michael J. Fox and Tracy Pollan, Brooke Shields, and Christie Brinkley. That’s everyone although it seems hard to believe Jimmy Fallon was absent. Also didn’t Corden return to the UK?
I hope some of these people bought a copy of Sheeran’s “Minus” album or “Subtract.” Released in May, it’s Sheeran’s first album not to go gold. According to Luminate, “Minus” has sold the equivalent of around 320,000 albums. This follows the singer being exonerated in a plagiarism lawsuit over the song “Thinking Out Loud.” Sheeran played the song, but there was no word on whether he mentioned his triumph over the families of Marvin Gaye and Ed Townsend.
Sirius XM sponsored the show.
