Ed Sheeran BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Ed Sheeran has been quite active in recent days, with several significant developments making headlines. Most notably, the global pop star performed an exclusive secret concert in Dublin on Monday night, November 4th, at the Royal Dublin Society. This special show celebrated his achievement as a 14-time member of Spotify's Billions Club, with approximately two thousand of his top fans selected based on their listening data on the platform attending the intimate performance. The singer-songwriter, who has Irish roots through his father's Belfast heritage and his mother's County Wexford background, reminded fans of his deep connection to Ireland, stating it's "a special place for me musically. I feel this is where it all began." He performed his signature set featuring just his acoustic guitar and loop pedal for under ninety minutes, opening with his recent single "Sapphire" and running through massive hits including "Shape of You," "The A Team," "Castle on the Hill," "Bad Habits," "Thinking Out Loud," "Perfect," and "I See Fire."On the touring front, Ed Sheeran has just been confirmed as a headliner for Capital's Jingle Bell Ball with Barclaycard, taking place December 6th and 7th at The O2 in London. He'll perform on opening night alongside RAYE, Anne-Marie, Leigh-Anne, Rizzle Kicks, Mimi Webb, Moliy, Sonny Fodera, and emerging artist Alessi Rose. Tickets go on sale November 7th at nine a.m. on the Global Player app, with exclusive presale access for Global iD members starting November 6th. Barclaycard customers receive ten percent discounts on tickets.Additionally, Ed continues to make waves beyond music. The British artist recently praised Prime Minister Keir Starmer's government for announcing immediate and long-term funding for music education, following an open letter he submitted calling for such support. This advocacy effort through his Ed Sheeran Foundation, established in January, has contributed to the first changes in the UK school curriculum regarding music education in ten years, representing significant long-term impact on educational policy.Career-wise, Ed remains on top of the industry. His eighth studio album "Play" continues performing strongly, with its number one single "Azizam" having topped the charts for five consecutive weeks. With over two hundred million records sold worldwide, he maintains his position as one of the biggest artists globally, further solidifying his status as an entertainment powerhouse.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

After a 13 year hiatus, UK hip-hop duo Rizzle Kicks return with Competition is For Losers. We go through the album, giving our thoughts on each track and the project as a whole.Follow us - ⁠https://linktr.ee/ManOverboardPodcast

As well as Jordan playing ‘Sit Down, Stand Up', other bisniss includes: a theory about vendetta's against your ex & things they liked – such as their fave sports team etc. It provoked a BIG reaction on the texts. Also, who's got Greg's red arrows poster? How was the France vs Wales Six Nations game? We find out as we call 'Jan Slam' winner Sam who won tickets to be there!

To celebrate 2024, we're taking a look backwards, and diving into the standout thinkers who have taken to the Intelligence Squared stage in the past 12 months. You might still be on the hunt for that perfect gift for the avid reader in your life, or perhaps you're after some food for thought over the festive period. Either way, this 12 episode mini series will highlight the books that shaped 2024. We hope you'll join us in 2025 for more events that intrigue, fascinate and entertain. Jordan Stephens' life during his teenage years and his twenties was a whirlwind. As one half of the hip hop duo Rizzle Kicks, his days were full of success, fame and adulation as Rizzle Kicks' debut sold over 1 million singles and 600,000 albums in 2012. But for Jordan, success brought pain in its wake: a hidden pattern of self-harm, hedonism, destructive ideas of masculinity, and heartbreak. Diagnosed with ADHD, he was always chasing the elusive feeling of love and continually found himself distracted and derailed by drugs, drink, sex and chaos. After his world imploded, Jordan chose to step away from his previous life completely and allowed himself to finally explore the pain he'd repressed his entire life.  His new memoir Avoidance, Drugs, Heartbreak & Dogs unsparingly digs into the fear, tenderness and trauma he carried. And it examines the confusing assumptions and contradictions about what a man should be that Jordan – and increasing numbers of young men today – struggle with. Jordan came to the Intelligence Squared stage in August 2024 where, in conversation with comedian, satirist, actor and Instagram sensation Munya Chawawa, he reflected on his own life experiences as he explores how we can encourage men to have a healthier and more loving conception of masculinity.

After reaching the heights of success so quickly, it all came crumbling down for Rizzle Kicks when Harley's anxiety left him incapable of performing. In an attempt to help him, Jordan realised he too had demons to conquer. Now, almost ten years later, Rizzle Kicks are back! - and I was lucky enough to chat to them about the journey from then to now…Known as the quiet one, Harley opens up for the first time in a public space about his battles with his mental health, his OCD and how he found a way out of the dark space he was in that led to the break in the music. Jordan also discusses his journey from that time, and how, in retrospect, he can see how their instant success warped their sense of achievement. We also discuss the value of role models and finding motivation from a place of peace.Harley and Jordan are such a wonderful example of friendship and the conversation was so honest and vulnerable - it reminded me of the important of sharing our experiences with one anotherRizzle Kicks have got a new album - you can find it here: rizzlekicks.tmstor.es/?lf=9c019ff825d8443192ddfe6e7be79e66And Jordan's book you can find here: www.amazon.co.uk/Avoidance-Drugs-Heartbreak-Jordan-Stephens-ebook/dp/B0CTMNQXP6If you enjoyed this episode, please click follow - we have so many great guests like this one, you won't want to miss out!You can also follow us on Instagram and Tiktok @greatcompanypodcast--THE CREDITSExec Producer: Jemima RathboneAssistant Producer: Gurlina HeerVideo: Jake JiSocial Media: Laura CoughlanGreat Company is an original podcast from JamPot Hosted on Acast.

This week's guest is the musician, actor, writer, and podcaster Jordan Stephens. Jordan's probably best known for Rizzle Kicks, the chart-topping duo he formed with his friend Harley Alexander-Sule, back in 2008. He's since released music as a solo artist, starred in various TV and film projects, published a children's book, and now he's written a memoir: Avoidance, Drugs, Heartbreak and Dogs. In this conversation the pair discuss education, the impact of overnight success, ADHD, medication and self-medication, as well as their shared interest in psychedelics and Jordan's journey towards healthier relationships. For more information on some of the subjects Jordan mentioned, there are links below (including more on Professor Nutt and that toad venom). And Jordan WILL return to On The Mend. These two just have too much in common.

Jordan Stephens is a writer, musician and actor, best-known as one half of the hip-hop duo Rizzle Kicks. His late teens and early twenties were a whirlwind of hit records, sold-out shows and wild parties, fuelled by a heady cocktail of drugs, drink, sex and chaos. It was fun until is wasn't. In 2017, everything fell apart when Jordan cheated on his then-girlfriend, leading to a painful break up that left him heartbroken for the first time. Desperate to make sense of it all, Jordan set out on a journey of self-discovery, facing his emotions and slowly pieced himself back together. He opens up to James about his experience of heartbreak and why love is such an important, yet misunderstood, topic for young men today. His new book, Avoidance, Drugs, Heartbreak and Dogs is out now.

Jordan Stephens is in the studio today angels and this is defo one of our favourite chats to date – you are going to absolutely love this one! Jordan shot to fame as a teenager as one half of Rizzle Kicks, they disbanded in 2016 and he went on to pursue a super successful, incredibly varied career, from actor and painter to children's book author (as well as still releasing music ofc). We sat down at Brixton Village studios to debrief on the rise of Rizzle Kicks and being thrown into fame overnight as a teenager, from the “delusion” that got him there in the first place, to the wild and ultimately unsustainable partying that came with such success. Jordan gets into what his subsequent five years of sobriety have been like and his myriad talents, including being an actor, and his views on everything from Penn Badgley's no intimacy rule for filming, to Andrew Tate and toxic misogyny.

They also discuss when anger can be an incredibly useful emotion, and discover they have a shared core fear of getting things wrong.Jordan's children's book, The Missing Piece, is out on August 18th.

If you have a loved one who is struggling with the school system, show them that it's not the be all in life, there are thousands of professions we all know people who are making money doing nothing that that was taught in school. They need reminding. Also that they are strange for not knowing what they want to do for the rest of their life aged 15! Not many people do! Make sure your child hasn't had his confidence knocked at school especially if he's dyslexic, we hide it well, looking back on my life I realised I had the belief it's better to be the naughty kid than to feel stupid kid Show them spoken word, grime, rap film studies if they aren't engaged with English and see it this engages them. Young adults open up and are so much more engaged if you show your vulnerability abs any hardship with them first otherwise they can just think you're one of them, what do you know! If you don't know where you're going or what it why, Then taken that one next step and following your curiosity is always enough, this is where your joy will be. Listen go the friends you meet, the trips you want to go on and it will unfold. Quite often travelling and going away is the most amazing mission and self discovery but the change and what mark you can make of the world will be at home! Look around in your community and see what you can offer. Us creatives see the invisible stuff you will know what your town needs. Look and see what lights you up? What makes you obsessed? What makes you not look at your phone? That's the thing everything else can be learned as a skill, passion is uniquely yours.
