Ed Sheeran doesn't enjoy going to gigs: 'I know what it's like to be on stage and it's just more fun'

British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran has revealed that he loves performing so much that it has zapped his enjoyment of watching other bands and artist playing live because he's always so desperate to get up on stage.

During an interview with German news agency DPA, the hitmaker explained that he doesn't really enjoy going to gigs to watch anymore because every time he sees a performance he just wishes it was him up there on stage:

"I don't enjoy watching another act perform because I just think, 'Oh man, I want to be up there.' That's why I don't enjoy festivals anymore."

He added that getting recognised in the crowd doesn't bother him and he just always"I didn't stop going because I started getting recognised, but because I just know what it's like to be the one on stage now, and that's just more fun. These live shows just aren't for me anymore - it sucks."
