Ed Sheeran's 'Old Phone'
Sheeran also said that he recently got a chance to go down memory lane due to a court case. He explained that he had to go through all of his old devices for the lawyers to have, and while he did this, he saw a lot of all texts from people he has known for a lot of time. "It was really, like, nostalgic.â
While Ed Sheeran has not used a phone since 2015 and now uses a tablet, he stated that switching on his old phone was like "going into a time machine". He saw text from people who have already died, an ex-girlfriend and even a family member he doesn't talk to anymore.
That moment later became inspiration for his latest single, âOld Phone.â
