Ed Sheeran at Q Awards

Ed Sheeran at Q Awards

The 23-year-old singer's music inspired several guys to pop the question at his show at The O2 arena in London on October 13 and he was flattered that they used his concert as a platform to propose.

Speaking at the Xperia Access Q Awards on Wednesday (22.10.14), he told BANG Showbiz: "I think it's great that my music inspired people to do that ... I was thinking though when the first guy proposed the other four guys must have been thinking, 'Oh no, that was my idea!' "

Ed is also pleased so many couples seem to have 'Give Me Love' or 'Tenerife Sea' as 'their song' as it would have been "weird" if the men had proposed to one of his non-romantic tracks.

He added: "I'm glad they're getting engaged to the right songs, it would be a bit weird if they were proposing to 'You Need Me, I Don't Need You'."

Ed was awarded Best Solo Artist at the ceremony, held at the Grosvenor House hotel in London, and took the opportunity on the red carpet to address Isle Of Wight Festival boss John Giddings' claim he was too "boring" to headline his event.

He said: "'I have no problem with him whatsoever and I hope he doesn't have a problem with me. I'm not one to hold a grudge ... Everyone's entitled to an opinion and fair play to him if he thinks that. I wasn't upset, a lot of people think I'm boring - I think other people are boring. It's fine and that's a normal thing to think ... I mean, there's never going to be a shortage of festivals for me to play at but there are a shortage of artists to play festivals."
