Like most restaurants, it's been forced to close during this crisis, but unlike most restaurants, the millionaire musician behind it is stepping up to the plate to help out his employees.

Ed will reportedly be paying the entire staff's wages in full himself while the restaurant is closed.

It's been reported that the staff of Bertie Blossoms were told by Ed "not to worry" and that he's "picking up the tab" during these tough times.

Ed has also apparently told his staff they are welcome to seek other employment if they can find it during this time for extra money.

He also encouraged them to do volunteer work if they are able to help those who are struggling immensely during the pandemic. That's a good boss!

What an amazing move from Ed!
