It comes after Ed celebrated his 33rd birthday last month and took to his Instagram to celebrate the milestone.
The singer-songwriter shared two hilarious photos from his backstage dressing room, which was filled with gold balloons.
Alongside the photos, the Castle On The Hill hitmaker simply wrote: ‘Happy birthday to me’.
In one playful click, Ed donned a party hat and posed with a blank face while blowing a party horn in his mouth.
In the next shot, the Grammy winner wore sunglasses decorated with birthday cakes that read “Happy Birthday.”
He pulled down his black T-shirt to show it to the camera, revealing that it was decorated with photos of his bodyguard, Kevin Myers.
