Fans are calling out Ed Sheeran after a photo of him with Johnny Depp and Russell Crowe has gone viral.
Sheeran, 33, is an English singer-songwriter who has sold over 150 million records worldwide, making him one of the world’s best-selling music artists of all time.
He’s known for songs such as ‘Shape of You,’ ‘Photograph,’ and ‘Perfect.’
Since Sheeran’s rise to fame, he’s rubbed shoulders with some of the most famous people on the planet, including Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift.
But now, he’s being ‘canceled’ after spending time with the Pirates of the Caribbean star…
A second remarks: “Disappointing.”
“I officially dislike Ed Sheeran,” writes somebody else.
A fourth person says: “I guess call me an Ed Sheeran hater because wtf is this.”
“Oh, Ed Sheeran,” pens another X user, alongside a GIF of Tyra Banks shouting: “I was rooting for you, we were all rooting for you! How dare you!”
Others are taking to the platform and defending Sheeran, saying cancel culture is going too far.
“I try to stay above the nonsense most of the time but… Good luck trying to cancel Ed Sheeran kids!” pens one fan.
Another fumes: “Cancel, cancel, cancel. I’m so sick of cancel culture.”
While a third X user enthuses: “Oh my goodness! So much love, so many legends, so much awesomeness in this epic picture!”
The viral photo of Sheeran, Depp, and Crowe was captured at Andrea Bocelli’s concert series.
The three were featured as special guests at the renowned Italian tenor’s three-day Tuscan event celebrating his 30th anniversary in music.
Crowe uploaded the now-infamous photo to social media, alongside the caption: “Teatro del Silenzio backstage shenanigans with Teddy & Johnny. Lubrication by Guinness. Perfect.
“Grazie Millie Maestro Andrea Bocelli. What an incredible experience.”
The seemingly innocent photo has caused controversy for Sheeran, but why?
In June 2022, Depp won a defamation against Aquaman star and ex-wife Amber Heard.
The actress was sued for damages over a 2018 op-ed piece for The Washington Post in which she said she had become a ‘public figure representing domestic abuse.’
Depp’s attorneys said although the actor wasn’t mentioned by name, it indirectly referred to previous allegations she’d made against him.
Although the Edward Scissorhands star won the case, many people have continued to side with Heard, who appears to have moved away from the spotlight.
