AFTER a year away from the limelight to write new material, Ed Sheeran has come back to the music scene with a bang.
As well as his hugely successful two new singles (Castle on the Hill and Shape of You) the singer-songwriter has hit headlines because of a mysterious scar that appeared on his face after a party.
Rumours about the injury have been swirling, and Ed chatted about the bizarre story behind his new scar on Absolute Radio.
Ed hadn’t realised his face had been cut open after he was allegedly struck with a ceremonial sword wielded by Princess Beatrice.
The singer dished: “I got hit in the face and I was like, all right, OK, and then started carrying on and then I looked down at my shirt and it was just completely covered in blood.
“And everyone was kind of gaping open-mouthed at me. What have I got a nosebleed or something? What’s happened?”
Sheeran needed stitches after it was claimed that Beatrice, 28, swung a sword over her shoulder while pretending to “knight” singer James Blunt, not realising that the Thinking Out Loud singer was right behind her.
The star, who has not named the princess, joked with Andy Bush: “James Blunt would like me to tell everyone that it was him and he was trying to reclaim his pop career by killing me.”
The incident is reported to have happened at a party in November at the Royal Lodge in Windsor, after the You’re Beautiful singer Blunt, 42, joked that he would love to be made a Sir.
