Singer Ed Sheeran has hit back after he was accused of not performing live at his Glastonbury concert.
Sheeran took to Twitter on Monday to explain that what the viewers and concertgoers heard during his performance was the loop station, not a backing track.
The Shape of You hit maker said that he always performed live and asked people to google the difference between looping and backing tracks.
“Never thought I’d have to explain it, but everything I do in my live show is live, it’s a loop station, not a backing track. Please google,” he tweeted.
During his headlining set at Glastonbury, Sheeran performed fifteen songs, including Castle On The hill, Thinking Out Loud and You Need Me, I Don’t Need You.
However, some viewers were confused when they heard guitar sound while the singer didn’t play anything. This led to some Twitter users to accuse the singer of using backing tracks during his live performance.
A Twitter user wrote: “Come on Ed Sheeran, where is the live band? Backing tracks! #live music!”
Another tweeted: “Did Ed Sheeran really ‘play’ Glastonbury last night? Sure he sang (pretty well) over a backing tape but did he ‘play’ anything? Guitar? No.”
