"They put you in grey underwear and a grey vest. And you
stand there for two hours while strangers poke you. And
hopefully it comes out looking alright," Sheeran said of the
sitting.
After the unveiling at the New York tourist attraction, the
English singer said seeing himself in wax was "weird."
He then added, "They even got my lazy eye in."
Over 250 measurements were taken during the sitting, which
included matching his eye and hair color and tattoos exactly.
The team of artists were treated to a special concert by Sheeran
during the sitting.
The 24-year-old is best known for his hit songs "Sing," "Don't"
and "Thinking Out Loud" and is currently on tour.
Sheeran's figure will be a part of the attraction's collection
of music stars and is styled in clothes donated by the singer,
down to the socks. He also gave his Martin guitar.
Sheeran said it was his first time visiting Madame Tussauds and
he is keen to see his parents' reaction to the creation.
"I think it will be quite weird for me, but I think it will be
cool seeing what my own parents created," he said.
