'I remember every time I sat down and tried to write a song as good as “gimme love” , I remember being so inspired by a guy in a hoodie playing some real songs that he wrote and thinking one day I wanna do that. Not sure how I ended up here and not sure what it even means as it really all feels like a dream right now. Thank you @teddysphotos for having me join you for this special tour.

Cian went on to reveal that despite being a huge star, and selling out stadiums around the world, he also makes time for his family, dropping his kids at school. Cian explained: "Ed Sheeran blows my mind. He's like a phenomenon, it's like this guy who somehow managed to be so low key, but is the biggest star in the world.
"And I'm just like, how are you? I think I saw him recently enough, we were at a studio together in the countryside and he was just, you know, talking about dropping his kids to school, Monday to Friday and just like having this kind of life.
"And then he's, like, playing these huge sold-out stadium shows, breaking records on the weekend and I'm like, what is going on? Like, who are you like, how is this? How is this even possible?
“Yeah, he's just the sweetest, most like down to earth guy.”
