As you may be aware, Ed Sheeran has been in New York for the week or so - but not to play a gig.
The English superstar is defending his honour in a copyright trial taken by the family of Ed Townsend, the man who co-wrote Marvin Gaye's 'Let's Get It On'.
They claim that Sheeran infringed the copyright of the famous 1973 hit when he wrote his own hit, 'Thinking Out Loud'.
There have already been a number of dramatic moments in court, including Townsend's daughter Kathryn Townsend-Griffin collapsing and having to be taken to hospital, and Sheeran playing guitar while on the stand in a bid to prove how he wrote 'Thinking Out Loud' from an original idea.
However, it seems that the pressure of having to defend his creative honour has got to Sheeran, as yesterday he reportedly claimed that he'd be 'done' with music if he's found guilty, saying: "If that happens, I’m done, I’m stopping."
When asked by his own lawyer about how it felt to have to take the stand to defend his work, he said "I find it really insulting to devote my whole life to being a performer and a songwriter and have someone diminish it."
'Thinking Out Loud' was originally released in 2015 but Townsend's estate filed the copyright infringement lawsuit in 2017.
Marvin Gaye's estate, meanwhile, famously won a copyright trial that they took against Robin Thicke, TI and Pharrell for infringing his song 'Got to Give It Up' on their hit 'Blurred Lines'.
The trial began on April 24th and was expected to last a week, so a ruling is due in the coming days.
