Watch Ed Sheeran cover Little Mix’s ‘Touch’ in the Live Lounge

0

Ed Sheeran made a triumphant return to Radio 1’s Live Lounge after a 2 year hiatus earlier today, dropping a selection of his previous hits alongside an on-point cover of Little Mix’s Touch.

With his third studio album Divide out in just over a fortnight’s time, the PR machine is rolling at full steam for Ed – his upcoming tour has already sold out, he’s hitting up the BRIT Awards tomorrow night, and he also returned to the Grammy Awards stage a couple of weeks back. Seems a Live Lounge appearance is just what’s needed to remind him of his UK roots.

Catch the five-track set below:
