I really love and admire both Ed Sheeran and Lady Gaga. Beautiful, creative souls who touch the hearts of so many through their music.

The singer, whose album ÷ is the year’s biggest seller worldwide with 8m copies sold in three months, told the Sun: “I’ve actually come off Twitter completely. I can’t read it. I go on it and there’s nothing but people saying mean things.”
He added: “One comment ruins your day. The headfuck for me has been trying to work out why people dislike me so much.”
He said that Lady Gaga fans were some of those responsible for the abuse. “ Her fans read an interview in which they assumed I was talking about her and they all fucking hate. And it wasn’t anything to do with that at all.”

As much as 50 percent of Vantiv’s revenue comes from large chains, which have struggled to compete with online retailers, according to Moshe Katri, an analyst at Wedbush Securities Inc.
“The problem with that exposure is that you’re seeing some of the large national merchants and retailers that are predominantly brick-and-mortar businesses, these guys are losing share to the ‘Amazon effect,”’ Katri said.
