Ed Sheeran Awarded Honorary Degree

Singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran, who left school at 16 to become a busker, is to get to complete his education with an honorary degree. The 24-year-old is being awarded his prize by University Campus Suffolk (UCS) at a ceremony later this year. The Thinking Out Loud and Don't singer, who was born in Yorkshire but brought up in Framlingham, Suffolk, is said to be delighted at his academic award, which recognises his outstanding contribution to music.
