Ed Sheeran has had this huge tattoo inked
Fans were stunned this afternoon to see Ed Sheeran had decided to have a GIANT lion tattooed on his chest. It was Cheryl's rose all over again.
And while a few people thought he might have decided to pay tribute to Cecil the lion, who was shot dead, the reason behind his decision is entirely different.
He chose the design to commemorate last month's sold out shows at Wembley stadium, which is also the home of England's football team.
The national side are also known as the Three Lions, with images of the animal featuring on the team's logo.
"Originally I was going to get the floor plan tattooed on my side, but that seemed a bit ridiculous," he told the BBC before his opening night show.
