If you've ever wondered whether or not Ed Sheeran has accidentally pooped his pants on stage, wonder no more. The answer is, yes, in fact the "Thinking Out Loud" singer has sharted while performing in front of thousands of adoring fans.

In an incredibly candid interview with Nova's Red Room, Sheeran admitted that he farts on stage "all the time," but during one performance he accidentally took things a little too far.

"I actually once misjudged a fart on stage, which ended up being a shart," Sheeran admitted. But, ever the trooper, he continued on with the concert, albeit with a few amendments to how much he moved around on stage. "It was like midway through a performance and I was really lively, and then halfway through I was like, I'm just going to stand still for the rest of this performance and hope it's over soon and then go home and throw these trousers out."

Sheeran gave a bit of an excuse for the sharting incident, because after all, he is an adult. He said that he was actually sick at the time from traveling around the world too much (#firstworldproblems).

"I'd flown from London to Tokyo to Sydney to England all in the space of like three days and it just messed me up. I was very ill," he said.

However, it seems as though Sheeran doesn't always have the most amazing personal hygiene. He said that he has also gone several days without changing his socks or underwear, especially when he was 18 and 19 years old and living on other people's couches.
