Ed Sheeran Reveals Many Professional Singers Lip-Sync Performances

Ed Sheeran revealed during a recent Beta Squad YouTube video that many professional singers lip-sync during live performances but would never admit to it publicly. When a contestant mentioned she might lip-sync to protect her voice, Sheeran responded that while some professionals do mime, they do not openly confess to it. He stated that he has never lip-synced himself because his performances rely on live looping with a guitar and loop pedal, making it impossible to mime. Sheeran emphasized that he would never cancel a show due to vocal issues and would push through even if his voice was slightly raspy. Currently on the European leg of his ongoing tour, Sheeran is also preparing to release his eighth album, "Play," on September 12, 2024. The singer is known for his dedication to live performance authenticity and recently teased new music and an upcoming tour in 2026.
