Ed Sheeran was offered the opportunity to perform the "first gig in space," but turned it down. Speaking with Scott Mills on BBC Radio 2 he revealed the thought of space: "terrifies me." Ed who shares kids Lyra (5) and Jupiter (3) with wife Cherry Seaborn said: "There’s places on this planet that I haven’t been to. There’s places on this planet I would far rather go to than space." "I’m not going to risk that for a Guinness World Record, I’m not going to risk my kids not having a dad," he emphasized.
