ED Sheeran is happy to Divide his fortune by giving away nearly £1million to help kids learn music.

His incredible generosity is revealed in new accounts of Sheeran’s charity foundation. Dad-of-two Ed, 31, has ploughed in almost £500,000 over the past five years.

The Framlington Foundation Trust, named after the Suffolk town where he grew up, has another near-£500,000 earmarked for more budding young musicians.

A source said: “Ed has never forgotten his struggle to reach the top and the impact music made on his life. It is fantastic he’s helping in this way.”
