A home video of teenage Ed Sheeran performing in his school production of Grease could soon be yours thanks to an upcoming auction.
Yep, if you’re a Sheeran fan who fancies forking out the big bucks then you’re in luck, as the video is set to be sold on Tuesday, June 29th.
The clip, which is almost two hours long, shows a baby-faced 15-year-old Sheeran performing as the character of Roger.
Complete with slicked-back hair and a leather jacket, Sheeran delivers a rendition of the track ‘Mooning’ in the video.
Omega Auctions has shared a short preview clip ahead of the sale, with Auctioneer Paul Fairweather saying: “Over the last year or so we’ve seen an exponential increase in interest for memorabilia and collectables relating to contemporary artists, especially Ed Sheeran.”
“We sold a rare early CD title for £50,000 (AUD $90,000) in September of last year and since then the enquiries and consignments have been non-stop,” he added.
“The footage is a great watch and we think it definitely gives a hint as to Ed’s star potential.”
