The second day of Ed Sheeran's ongoing copyright trial has faced a major disruption after the plaintiff Townsend Griffin collapsed in court. The Bad Habits singer is in court all week in New York City after being accused of copying Marvin Gaye's Let Get It On for his song, Thinking Out Loud, by the family of Marvin's co-writer Ed Griffin.
Townsend, who is the songwriter's daughter, fainted and had to be carried out of court according to CNN, resulting in proceedings being halted for about 15 minutes. CNN also states that Townsend had been taken to hospital, but that no update has been provided. It comes after the first day of the trial which saw the Brit Award-wining singer deny copying Marvin's hit track, and that no artist should be able to monopolise commonly used chords.
Amy Winehouse's personal journals and handwritten lyrics are set to be published in an upcoming book. The book is titled Amy Winehouse In Her Words and is being released by the late singer's estate. In Her Words is described as shining a light on Amy's incredible writing, wit and her charm, featuring never-before-seen notes and family photographs to honour the singer who died in 2011 aged 27. The book will be available for fans to purchase in August.
