Singer/songwriter Ed Sheeran, best known for hits The A Team and Lego House, has inked a deal with Octopus Publishing to release Ed Sheeran: A Visual Journey, about his experiences in the music industry and what 'drives and influences' him, with art and photos by Phillip Butah.

Sheeran commented 'I'm thrilled to be collaborating with my childhood friend, the incredibly talented artist Phillip Butah on the book.... We've pulled together photos and Phillip's artwork from the very beginning right up to today and the book will be my words on the stories behind the pictures'. An autumn release is scheduled.
