Singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran has hit out at venues that charge fans extra to get into the venues ahead of the standard opening times.

In a series of posts shared via his official Twitter page last night (October 4), the 'Lego House' sensation explained that he's digusted to think some concert halls are making money from genuine fans purely through being given the chance to pay extra for early entry:

"Just been told that some venues on this tour have been going round the que and offering queing fans to pay for early access into the venue. this is not how me and my team work, and has nothing to do with us. however, we got in touch with all the venues to tell them to stop and they are donating all the money they took to homeless charities in the area."

"A bit angry that people take advantage of my fans like that but its all sorted now, and a postive has come from it. sorry to any fan affected x"

Sheeran also recently performed on The Ellen Show and you can watch his live rendition of 'The A Team' here:
