Pop star Ed Sheeran is being sued for copyright infringement by the partial owners of R&B icon Marvin Gaye's hit single "Let's Get It On..."
According to reports Structured Asset Sales have filed a lawsuit against Ed Sheeran claiming his smash hit single "Thinking Out Loud" is a complete rip off of "Let's Get It On."
The lawsuit claims Ed copied the melody, rhythms, harmonies, drums, bassline, backing chorus, tempo, syncopation and looping.
Structured Asset Sales, who own 1/3 of "Let's Get It On", is seeking $100 million in damages.
