Ed Sheeran is quitting

Who loves the red-haired singer who, despite worldwide success, has just remained completely himself: we don't have very good news. Ed Sheeran is quitting.

We can't make it any prettier than it is. He just wants to take a break from making music and is therefore stepping back. He wants to focus on other things than making albums. Like what exactly? That's quite cute: he wants to start a family and hopes that his wife and childhood sweetheart Cherry is pregnant soon. He recently secretly with her tied the knot .

Ed is honest: “When my tour ends at the end of September, I will gladly take a year off. I will have been touring for three years and that’s quite crazy. I really need to break away from that and do other things.” He hopes for a family of his own. He is done with all those performances and interviews and studio days. He prefers to travel: he loves adventurous vacations with bungee jumping and swimming with sharks. Well, Ed doesn’t need to prove himself to anyone anymore, so why not? He can really take a break if he feels he needs it. And after eight trillion number 1 hits, a break also makes quite a bit of sense.

Enjoy it, Ed. Who knows, in a year or so you might have a ton of inspiration for another eighteen new hits. Secretly, we’re quite looking forward to that, because until then we’ll just have to make do with ‘Shape of You’.
