Ed Sheeran has taken to Instagram to share a heartbreaking post after the death of his cat Graham. The pop star, who has three cats, posted a photo of Graham as a kitten, standing on his guitar, captioned with the broken heart emoji.
Ed rescued Graham when he was a kitten a few years ago, and he was being looked after by Ed's manager and his wife, while he was away on tour. However, sadly he was hit by a car and didn't survive.
Liberty, the wife of Ed's manager also shared a sad post about the cat saying, 'Our lovely little bud Baby Ba Boo aka Graham the Kitten passed away last night after being hit by a car. We are absolutely heartbroken. He was such a dude. Funny and clever and best mates with a massive German Shepherd. We are going miss you so much. Thanks for all the fun. #Babybaboo'.
Fans have flocked to comment on Ed's photo saying how sorry they were to hear the sad news. One fan said, 'I’m so so sorry Ed 💔 he will always be the adorable graham to us all... sending you and stu and everyone so much love x', [sic], with another saying, 'Oh no Graham! I am so sorry for your loss! 💔💔'.
Ed, who has two other cats called Calippo and Dorito, would often share photos of his cats, and back in 2014 he posted this super cute photo of Graham as a kitten standing on his shoulder, captioned, 'Daddy's home'.
