Ed Sheeran on artists that inspire him: 'There's so much truth'

British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran has revealed that there's a rapper he really looks up to as a point of inspiration.

During a new interview with the Rolling Stone, the superstar confessed that he has always admired The Game because his music is bursting with truth and integrity, which is impressive: "The Game is one rapper that I constantly look up to. He has so much passion and feeling in this song. You know everything he does is the truth."

He also opened up about how much of an influence Damien Rice had on him as a youngster, adding: "Seeing Damien Rice perform when I was 11 changed my life forever. After seeing him play this small club in Ireland, I was able to meet him, and he was unbelievably cool. I went straight home and started writing songs. I would not be doing what I'm doing now if he'd been a jerk."
