Feel he's a brave young man to make this public. Singing has helped many with this affliction. Kudos to Ed.

I stutter a lot, and I love Ed Sheeran. When I found he did too, I was like, "Is this a coincedince?!? XD" Ed Sheeran inspires me :)

It’s not right to say he still “suffers” from it from sometimes when he gets excited. Obviously, he doesn’t suffer but instead he stutters when he’s excited. The only thing that makes stuttering “disorder” are the negative experiences around stuttering. Stuttering itself can be reframed as an experience instead of a negative experience. So please stop saying “suffering”!!!

"As soon as you stop trying to fit in, that's when things being to fit in around you." I really hope his younger fans hear this and listen to it. EMBRACE YOUR QUIRKS!

I have stuttered since childhood, caused by fear and it only goes away when I am in a good mood.

I have a stutter and found it so weird how I couldn’t tell the difference between the rhythms and everyone else could tell instantly

I have a bad stutter and I can't say a sentence without saying um. Even when it's on paper!?

I don't stutter but I got that question wrong

Lee Lovetts’ novelties & WSSA program will help you improve your speech. I’ve benefited greatly from it and I can’t recommend his stuff enough.

I stutter and I’m gonna stutter all my life, but I found out Shaq stutters, Ed Sheeran stutters, Darren Sproles stutters, and so does Kendrick Lamar.

I stutter and i could tell it was rythm number 1....

[Candearr]

He stuttered when I met him and talked him 😂 that means he was nervous/excited? Ok, ok let me have hope lol

[PastleLif]

No one stutters while singing or reading

I stutter, not that much tho, but it's pretty annoying.
