Ed Sheeran Finally Reveals the Reason He Got That Controversial Lion Tattoo

Ed Sheeran made waves in August when he posted a photo to Instagram of a giant lion tattoo he'd gotten on his chest, and fan reactions weren't exactly supportive. But during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Tuesday, Ed finally revealed the reason behind why he got inked in the first place. "I feel like this is every part of my career put into one, and I think it looks cool and I don't really care if anyone else does too," he told Ellen. The singer also hilariously opened up about what it's been like to give up alcohol and cigarettes.
