Ed Sheeran's co-writer 'incredibly relieved' as Thinking Out Loud case finally ends

The US Supreme Court has rejected an attempt to revive the long-running copyright trial over Ed Sheeran's hit song Thinking Out Loud.

On Monday, the court refused to hear an appeal from Structured Asset Sales (SAS), which claimed Sheeran's song copied Marvin Gaye's Let's Get It On, in which it has a copyright interest.

The move ends a decade-long legal battle, including two separate plagiarism trials, both of which ruled in Sheeran's favour.

"It's a huge relief," said Amy Wadge, who co-wrote Thinking Out Loud with Sheeran in 2014. "It's been rolling news under my life for 10 years but, yes, it's done."

Speaking to BBC Radio 4's Today programme, the Welsh songwriter said the copyright trials had "haunted" her for the last 10 years.
