Mac on Ed Sheeran

The Quietus, 28 August 2026:

"Do we need to hear another Ed Sheeran record? If he’s saying his songs are love songs then who the fuck is he in love with?”

The Daily Record, 10 October 2021:

“Why doesn’t he just f*** off?"

“It annoys me the way people look now. Maybe I’m a bit ‘lookist’ but you don’t pick up a guitar looking like him."

“That single (Bad Habits) was No1 for 11 weeks. Even Mouldy Old Dough by Lieutenant Pigeon was better than that and it was No1 for four weeks."

“I do despair but he’s done brilliantly. It’s just one of the most amazing music stories of all time – how something that bland can be that big."
