The singer/songwriter is being sued by the family of Ed Townsend, who collaborated with Marvin Gaye on 'Let's Get It On,' for allegedly copying the song with his hit 'Thinking Out Loud.'

Ed Sheeran said he is going to stop making music if he is found guilty of ripping off Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On," according to the Daily Mail.

Sheeran was sued by the family of Ed Townsend, who collaborated with Gaye on the song, over similarities to Sheeran's song "Thinking Out Loud."


Sheeran denies the claims.

The singer insisted if the jury finds that is not the case, he's "done."

"If that happens, I'm done, I'm stopping."
"I find it really insulting to devote my whole life to being a performer and a songwriter and have someone diminish it."

People on Twitter certainly hope that is not the case.



However, many are split on the basis of the claim.

Some stated they found no similarities between the two songs.





While others are certain Sheeran copied the 1973 hit.


Townsend's family is seeking $100 million in the lawsuit.

If found guilty, a second trial would be needed to determine the appropriate damage amount.

And the world might never hear another Sheeran song.

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!
