Ed Sheeran has been celebrating his recent addition to a ‘best dressed’ list by reminiscing on some of his old looks.
The ‘Galway Girl’ singer attended The 2025 Time 100 Gala on Thursday (April 24) in New York City at Jazz at Lincoln Center. The event serves as the annual celebration of Time‘s list of the 100 most influential people in the world
To celebrate, Sheeran showed up on the red carpet in a pale pink suit and matching Nike Air Force 1’s – a look which resulted in him being placed on Hello Magazine‘s ‘best dressed’ list.
In response, the singer took to Instagram to share a series of his previous fashion fails, writing: “Got put on the best dressed list yesterday for the @time gala. Swipe right to see all the times in the last 15 years I’ve been voted worst dressed #glowup #holdmybeer #iworkoutnow #fashon #influencer #dontbuydrugskids.”
The photo carousel mainly consists of images of Sheeran wearing zip-up hoodies to various red carpet events. Check it out below.
Sheeran most recently released the video for ‘Azizam’ – which is named after a Persian term of endearment that translates to “my dear” or “my beloved” – and it sees the singer joining in with a lively Persian wedding.
It is the first release from his upcoming album ‘Play’, which has yet to be given an official release date. He also previewed a new song ‘Old Phone’ during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon last month.
Sheeran has also confirmed that a new track called ‘Sapphire’ will be released in the coming months, and he revealed that he plans to share new music every two or three weeks.
The singer-songwriter is due to play a run of European shows from May to September 2025 before finishing up the year with performances in Bhutan, India, Qatar and Bahrain.
Elsewhere, last week he joined forces with Noah Kahan to perform a short acoustic duet set in a Nashville pub, and before that he played Coachella 2025, where he was announced as a late addition for the Mojave Stage. He also joined Post Malone for the latter’s festival-closing set last weekend – check out footage here.
Elton John has shared his family’s yearly summer playlist on the latest episode of his Rocket Hour show on Apple Music, with songs chosen together with his husband David Furnish and their sons, Zachary and Elijah.
During his appearance on Apple Music 1, the musician revealed that the family puts every song suggestion to a vote at home, with a track needing at least three votes before making the final cut. The playlist is packed with energetic songs, matching the family’s love for lively and feel good music throughout the summer.
The playlist brings together different generations and musical styles, combining iconic names from previous decades with newer electronic artists and dance music producers.
Among the songs chosen are Stevie Wonder’s "Higher Ground," Bob Marley & The Wailers' "Could You Be Loved," and Tom Petty’s "Runnin' Down A Dream." John also praised Petty’s music, describing the 1989 album Full Moon Fever as one of the greatest rock albums ever made.
Zachary and Elijah’s musical tastes are also represented, with the playlist featuring current UK club tracks alongside familiar reggae and pop favorites. John singled out "Free Your Mind," the collaboration between Leeds dance duo Prospa and producer Cloonee, as one song his sons especially enjoy.
The broadcast also features a mix of electronic and crossover sounds, including Peggy Gou and Ayra Starr’s "Wo, man," Jamie xx’s "Baddy On the Floor" featuring Honey Dijon, Barry Can’t Swim’s "Return To Bhibo," and Fisher’s reworking of Bob Sinclar’s "World, Hold On." Other artists included in the selection are Red Hot Chili Peppers, Lykke Li, Groove Armada, Kacey Musgraves, Wiz Khalifa, and Role Model.
John noted that the songs played during the radio show are only part of the much larger playlist the family listens to during the summer.
The complete episode of Rocket Hour can be streamed on demand through Apple Music and Apple Podcasts.
