Ed Sheeran on Isle of Wight festival jibe: 'A lot of people think I'm boring'

Ed Sheeran has responded again to suggestions made by Isle of Wight Festival promoter John Giddings that he is a "boring" performer.

The festival boss recently spoke at Live UK Summit 2014 and he said that it is a sad state of affairs if acts like Sheeran are future headliners.

Speaking to Bang Showbiz at the Q Awards on Wednesday (October 22), Sheeran said of the comments:

"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."

Sheeran meanwhile recently revealed that Giddings had asked him to play at next year's Isle of Wight Festival a matter of weeks ago.
