Updated | By Poelano Malema
The award-winning singer is doing a fantastic job helping those in need.
Ed Sheeran is not only a brilliant singer and painter but he is also very passionate about charity.
The Grammy Award-winner recently auctioned one of his paintings for a cancer charity event.
" Hey! I’ve got a unique opportunity for one of you to own my painting 'Splash Planet' whilst helping me support a fantastic cancer charity here’s how. I have donated my Splash Planet painting to help Cancer Campaign in Suffolk, a local cancer charity close to my home," he wrote on his website.
The painting was bought on Monday. It raised more than £51,000 ( about R1-million) for the Cancer Campaign in Suffolk (CCiS) organisation.
According to BBC, the painting was bought by Claire Faynor (22) from Vermont in the US.
This is the second time Sheeran has auctioned one of his paintings for charity.
