In love with the shape of Ed Sheeran? Now, the British crooner’s most intimate items can be yours for just a few bucks.
Sheeran, 27, has donated over 300 pieces of personal memorabilia to Bishop & Miller for an upcoming charity auction, including his custom Martin guitar, a life-sized Lego statue of his head — and multiple pairs of his underwear.
Beginning bids for the singer-songwriter’s underthings will range from £20 ($26) for a pair of nondescript black boxers from British brand Primark to £80 ($103) for some white briefs featuring the phrase “aka sexy bastard” along the waistband.

All proceeds will go to St. Elizabeth Hospice’s new charity Zest, which supports the care of young people living with progressive and terminal illnesses.
