Ed Sheeran: "I write my best songs in the toilet"

It's all to do with acoustics, apparently

Ed Sheeran has finally revealed the secret behind his incredible songwriting skills – hotel toilets.

Yep, Ed has admitted that he regularly decamps to the bathroom when he’s staying in hotels to create musical magic.

The reason for this? Well, apparently it’s all down to the quality of sound.

“I find that I write all my songs now in hotel bathrooms because of the ambience and it sounds really nice,” Ed told the Daily Star.

“I will kind of wander in, put my laptop down, type something, sing a bit and then record it.”

Last November Ed sent a tweet from his tour bus toilet telling his millions of followers that he was locked in.

He wrote: "Definitely broke the door handle off of the back lounge of the bus and now trapped in. I have the Simpsons but I also need to pee (sic)"

Fortunately Ed was eventually freed from his smelly prison.
