He's undoubtedly one of the biggest music stars on the planet, so it's no surprise Ed Sheeran brought a MASSIVE performance at The BRIT Awards 2022 with Mastercard on Tuesday 8th February.

Ed, who has enjoyed another huge year with his '=' album, took to the stage to open the massive show at The O2 in London, performing his hit single 'Bad Habits', whilst setting the stage ALIGHT (literally) alongside Bring Me The Horizon.

The 'Shape Of You' singer was surrounded by a spectacle of flames as he performed the most explosive opening in BRIT Awards history, much to the delight of the star-studded crowd, which featured artists like Adele, Dave and Joel Corry.

As well as pyrotechnics, the amazing performance also involved lasers, aerial performers and a contortionist.
