Ed Sheeran failed music course but still became global best-selling pop star

Ed Sheeran has sold more than 150 million records worldwide but it turns out, the 28-year-old actually failed music at college.

A letter sent to the Shape Of You singer/songwriter in 2010 confirmed he had received six F grades in all segments, including songcraft, of his higher diploma in Contemporary Music Performance course at the Academy of Contemporary Music in Guildford, Surrey.

The letter is now on display at a new exhibition, Ed Sheeran Made In Suffolk, at Christchurch Mansion in Ipswich.

Ed attended the college in 2009 but quit in 2010, hence his fail marks, to concentrate on his music career.
