The 'Thinking Out Loud' hitmaker is up for two gongs at the annual ceremony - Song of the Year and Record of the Year - and whilst he faces stiff competition from the likes of Kendrick Lamar, Mark Ronson and pal Taylor Swift, the 24-year-old singer has given the organisers an ultimatum.
He is quoted by The Sun newspaper as saying: "I wasn't going to attend [this year] even after getting nominated, because I've been the last three years and always lost. I've known I'm not going to win so I get smashed before.
"But then it's going to be sod's law that this would be the year I get it if I didn't go. So I'm going to go and if I don't get it, I won't go again."
Meanwhile, Ed is currently in the first few weeks of a social media hiatus, having recently revealed he wants to stop "seeing the world through a screen" for the time being.
Taking to his Instagram account, he shared: "Hello all. I'm taking a break from my phone, emails and all social media for a while, I've had such an amazing ride over the last five years but I find myself seeing the world through a screen and not my eyes so I'm taking this opportunity of me not having to be anywhere or do anything to travel the world and see everything I missed.
"To my family and friends, if you love me you will understand me buggering off for a bit, to my fans, the 3rd album is on its way and is the best thing I have made thus far. See you all next autumn, and thank you for being amazing. Ed x (sic)"
