Music

The 26-year-old singer denied using backing tracks during his live performance, claiming that it was supported by a heavy use of loop station.

AceShowbiz - Ed Sheeran has been forced to set things straight after he was accused of not performing live on his recent show at Glastonbury. He took to Twitter on Monday, June 26 to explain that what the viewers and concertgoers heard during his performance was a skilled use of loop station instead of a backing track.

While it seemed like Ed was quite pissed about the accusation, the "Shape of You" hitmaker claimed that he always performed live and asked people to google the difference between looping and backing track. "Never thought I'd have to explain it, but everything I do in my live show is live, it's a loop station, not a backing track. Please google x," he tweeted.

During his headlining set at Glastonbury, Ed performed fifteen songs, including "Castle on the Hill", "Thinking Out Loud" and "You Need Me, I Don't Need You". However, some viewers were confused when they heard guitar sound while the singer didn't play anything. This led to some Twitter users accusing Ed of using backing tracks during his live performance.

A Twitter user wrote, "Come on Ed Sheeran, where is the live band? Backing tracks! #live music!" Meanwhile, another tweeted, "Did Ed Sheeran really 'play' Glastonbury last night? Sure he sang (pretty well) over a backing tape but did he 'play' anything? Guitar? No."

Another user gave similar response, writing, "Ed Sheeran...just one man and his guitar on the glastonbury stage (and pre-prepared backing tracks so not strictly a live performance)."
