I saw this coming a mile away. Odd that this article refers to Townsend, who died in 2003, as though he's still alive:

Sorry, struggling to hear the similarity of the two tracks. Think Ed Sheerin is becoming a target for this type if thing and it's totally unjustified.

The riff's the same, but the song is different. It's no closer than "I Can't Help Myself" compared to "Black Is Black".

Might be "different" songs but uh... he deserved it:

And it seems a lot of people tend to think this was a bigger rip off than Blurred Lines!

Can't wait to see Stevie Wonder inject his opinion. [[rolling eyes; love you Stevie but no)
