Ed Sheeran Is Masterminding a 'Superpop' Boy Band

Ed Sheeran's on the cover of Rolling Stone to commemorate the release of his third album, Divide. There's lots of booze, and lots of looking toward the future. One endeavor the 26-year-old Englishman is talking up is his very own boy band.

Sheeran is auditioning young men for the unique prospect. "Superpop, but obviously credible," he says of the tone. "I'm gonna put three or four boys together and do all the songs, take them on the stadium tour with me." Sheeran has already written a variety of tunes, which he calls "really, really decent."
