During his concert at Suffolk’s Portman Road stadium on Sunday night (July 13), Ed Sheeran got emotional when he shared the stage with one of his musical heroes, James Blunt. The two music stars performed a duet on Blunt’s 2004 hit “Goodbye My Lover.” Sheeran called the experience “a dream come true,” and he took to Instagram to share footage of the special collaboration while expressing why Blunt means so much to him. “I saw @jamesblunt when I was 13 opening for @eltonjohn at Portman Road. I bought his album that day, then got obsessed,” Sheeran wrote. “He became my favourite singer songwriter. His songs moulded me, his performing inspired me. I wanted to be him.” The two have gone on to form a close personal friendship, with Sheeran even serving as godfather to Blunt’s son. “Don’t meet your hero’s, unless your hero’s are James Blunt,” Sheeran added. “Love you mate.” (Billboard)
