Ed Sheeran faces copyright trial over alleged Marvin Gaye song similarities.

Ed Sheeran appeared in court for his copyright infringement trial, accused of using Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On" to create his hit song "Thinking Out Loud." Sheeran's lawyers maintain that his song only uses foundational elements of pop music. The trial is expected to last two weeks, and Sheeran is expected to testify. This isn't Sheeran's first time in court regarding his music, as he previously won a lawsuit in the U.K. in 2017 involving his song "Shape of You."
