Sheeran moves around and gets a cue stick from a man while holding a glass of beer. The group seems enthralled by the singer’s presence.

As per The Daily Mail, after winning the copyright case on his track, Shape of You, the 31-year-old singer has been partying. The report also said Sheeran also treated himself to drinks at the pub.
Birmingham Live said that the singer was accompanied by his mate Small Heath rapper Jaykae. Ian, the owner of the pub, told Birmingham Live that he didn’t even recognise Sheeran when he came through the door at around 9:30 pm. Jaykae had called before, but he did not disclose who was with him.
“I didn’t even notice, I walked straight past him. It’s only when everyone else started saying ‘Ed Sheeran’s in The Roost!’ that I realised,” he added.
Ian found Sheeran as down to earth as he mingled with everyone in the pub. “He was absolutely sound, great to everyone, having a laugh and a joke and a game of pool with the lads,” Ian told Birmingham Live. “He was absolutely brilliant. As good as gold, really down to earth,” he added.
