The ‘Shape of You’ crooner is standing copyright infringement trial at Manhattan Federal Court, United States.
Heirs of Gaye’s co-writer, Ed Townsend, accused Ed Sheeran of lifting a four-chord progression from the 1973 soul classic in his hit song ‘Thinking Out Loud’ and are seeking a whopping one hundred million naira in restitution.
However, Sheeran vehemently denied the claims, saying it’s insulting, adding that he would quit music if he is found guilty.
