Amy Winehouse Gets Married: The Definitive Report

As Us Weekly reported earlier today, Amy Winehouse wed fiance Blake Fielder-Civil in Miami, Florida this morning -- just hours before taking part in a photo shoot for an upcoming issue of Rolling Stone. According to a source, the couple had actually planned to get hitched tomorrow, but when they dropped by City Hall today to get their marriage license, they decided to do it on the spot. "I don't want to say it was on a whim, because that makes it sound whimsical," said the groom, who was allegedly very giddy after the morning's nuptials. The duo -- who both called their parents immediately after the quick civil ceremony to tell them the good news -- plan on holding a more formal wedding with friends and family back home in England.

“The A Team”

Ed Sheeran | 2011

This debut track from the then-20-year-old British singer-songwriter has a dark story behind it. Sheeran says he culls songwriting inspiration from "viewing other people's situations," which, for the heroine in "The A Team," involves drug addiction and prostitution that began as a teen. Sheeran paints the woman's trials with haunting imagery such as "But lately her face seems/Slowly sinking, wasting/Crumbling like pastries." "I did a gig at a homeless shelter, [and the song] is about one of the women there. It's her story," he said.
