one of my everyday essentials is my security guard Kevin come say hi to the people does they look happy hi GQ I'm Ed Sheran and these are my [Music] essentials Kevin has spent pretty much every day of my life with me since 2015 he was there on the birth of both of my children he was on my honeymoon yeah we're we're best friends and you know it's a deterrent people see him and they go okay maybe I won't robed what's the craziest story that comes to mind out of the last 8 years none I can
say you it's the strong silent type I've never seen Kevin in an altercation and I think that's what makes Kev a good security guard he gets me out of the danger before it's even presented itself he's not the only one as well he's got he's got a few few mates hey few of us yeah so this is another essential this is tingly Ted's hot sauce I did a TV commercial for Hines ketchup cuz I like Hines and I got in contact with them and said I've got a commercial idea for you if you want to
do it together and then they asked should we do another commercial for Hines ketchup and I said I'd actually want to create my own sauce I had this idea for tingly Ted a while ago I find some hot sauce a bit too runny and watery not fit for purpose so I wanted to create something that was totally fit for the purpose that I I use hot sauce on like every everything I'm a spice addict but I wanted something with the taste that I like and a consistency and something you can cook with as well so
this I mean I go through bottles and bottles and bottles of this every single week I'd have it on breakfast lunch Burgers nuggets I'd cook fajitas with it cook pasta cook curries there's two flavors out of the moment but we're bringing out a uh I like to call it the hoop hurter and that will be coming out very soon and anyone that really really likes their Rings stinged then you know next essential is uh Apple TV I travel a lot and I find myself sat in a hotel room on my own a lot and this
has all the streaming platforms on and I can basically wherever I am in the world if I've got like you know an hour to kill I can go on choose a TV show choose a movie and and watch that I mean this this comes with me everywhere I put it in my dressing room I put it in my hotel room I have it at home it's yeah a very useful bit of Kit being on Game of Thrones was it was cool it was it was very cold and they gave me thermal everything thing and I
was like ah it's Northern irand it's not going to be that cold and it was like I really regretted the decision not wearing thermals the reaction to me being on Game of Thrones was obviously not as glowing uh and positive as how I felt about it but what I would say to people is if someone asked you to be on your favorite show you'd say yes too so one of my essentials on the road is having a watch like this which is a uh it's just a regular G-Shock this is I did a subtract Edition
I love collecting watches but I think having a watch that you can wear anywhere and everywhere and you can swim with this you can run with this you could you could go to a club with this you can go but I wouldn't have to have a security guard and I always have this in my bag to wear at all times I love it so this watch uh was made for me for the mathematics tour and it's a a oneof one all the mathematics colors and symbols on it's basically a stage watch for me every weekend
for the uh for the stadium shows but I basically bring both of these on the road this would be the everyday wear and this would be the stage watch another one of my essentials would be V5 hair wax this is texturizing gum I've used this not this particular one although this is about 11 years old this it's it's empty um yeah I've used this probably since I was about 13 uh I name dropped V5 in my song you need me I don't need you and they sent me a lifetime supply that say Edge Shar and's
texturizing gum and when they said lifetime supply I've still got a lot of the supply and you know I'm barely halfway through it so it is definitely a lifetime supply yeah I've only ever used this on my hair and yeah I've run out which is why I'm wearing a hat today but yeah I know gel not for me matte clay not for me hairspray not for me it's all about the texturizing gum but then I don't know if anyone's going to watch this video and go oh I'd love to have hair that looks like EDS
but if you [Laughter] do so this is another one of my essentials this is Paca raban million just a a spray this the same as the the texturizing G I've used this since I was about 16 the only reason I got it was cuz it looked fancy and I was 16 and you know I think the one I got was like this big as well it was like I got it with a voucher for Christmas but I've used it ever since and I guess like when you find your smell it's your smell I really think
like I I meet a lot of people throughout the day and you know I think people look at me and they think he looks like he doesn't smell nice and I try to so this is is I think the thing that I use the most in the day this is my iPad Mini yeah I moved off a phone in 2015 and I didn't have any form of communication for about a year I was just like off everything and then when I got back to work for divid I was like I'm going to move back on
to email everyone expects a reply to a text instantly with email for some reason culturally everyone's like yeah yeah yeah you can reply to that tomorrow and it's not like you're just spending your whole time on your phone and I have three folders I have personal work and Urgent for me to compartmentalize conversations rather than just having chaos it's helpful for brain space especially with a young family I actually write every single one of my songs on here as well so on notes all of my lyrics are written on here on uh voice notes as
well all of my ideas for like guitar riffs and stuff like that so this is a an important bit of Kit and it's really smashed up like really really smashed up I made a load of songs with Jay Balvin and he was so offended that my iPad was so smashed up and I was using like it was literally like holes in it that he like bought me a new one then and there and yeah that's this one and it's smashed up so Jose thank you but it's it's the same as the one you replaced these
uh headphones I have like seven pairs of these cuz I keep losing them and then and then finding them again so these are don't know these aren't the pros yeah I think headphones are essential for anything I mean for me checking mixes of my music I video call my kids and stuff like that so to be able to be in private basically in public I think is quite important the three artists I would listen to for the rest of my life I think the Beatles I'm going to choose artists that have a wide wide wide
catalog cuz there are some artists that are my favorite artists but have like two or three albums and if it was for rest of my life I'd want to have a wide catalog I would say the Beatles I would say Eminem and for [Music] events so another one of my essentials would be a corkscrew bottle opener for uh wine I stopped drinking Spirits a couple of years ago and I've kind of uh channeled all my energy into into red wine yeah I've been caught out a few times where you're in a situation where you have
a bottle of wine and you want to drink it and I've learned how to push a cork down now and basically open a bottle without a cork screw but sometimes especially wearing a white t-shirt it's dangerous you push it in and goes all over you so I would say a cork screw is essential in my bag I would say a bottle of wine as well but I think that it that's not essential to bring with you at all times cuz you could pretty much anywhere in the world you can find a bottle of wine this
is the only thing that I carry on my person apart from a watch I have a wallet I used to carry a wallet with cash in it and yeah cash just seems to be a thing of the past now so I just literally have a credit card I feel like I could be caught out in any situation and be fine with even if I didn't have a watch just a credit card I think you could get yourself out of a few binds Just One credit card yeah and I've got a card that someone gave me
for counseling custody and meditation that it sometimes has cards in there you know that people give me and I forget to take out but yeah I should probably take that one out I've watched so many of these and it's nice to be the one being watched today i' I've always wondered about what my essentials would be and I really wanted to pick things that were actually in my bag and yeah thank you so much for having me and hope you enjoy the next person whoever it is
