MANILA, Philippines – Sorry, fans, but British singer Ed Sheeran will be stepping away from the music limelight for a little while.
According to The New York Post, Ed Sheeran revealed the news to his unsuspecting concert audience on Tuesday, August 27 in Chantry Park in Ipswich, England, the last stop of his record-breaking Divide global tour.
“As you may or not know, I’ve been on the Divide tour for over two years now and this is the last day of the whole thing. There is something very bittersweet about it,” Ed said.
“I love that you guys are here and we are ending it in Ipswich. I’ve played to 9 million people around the world. It is the biggest tour ever. This is my last gig for probably 18 months.”
The 28-year-old Grammy-winning artist then compared the feeling to a break-up. “It kind of feels like, in a weird way, that you’re breaking up with a girlfriend that you’ve been with for years,” he added.
“Thank you to everyone who has given me a chance. See you in a few years time. Thank you,” he said during his final bow.
According to an E! News report, Ed also took to Instagram Stories to clear up any rumors, reiterating that he is “not bloody retiring either.”
“Press are being over dramatic. I’m having 18 months off to make another album and hang out with my cats,” he wrote.
The artist’s decision comes after playing nearly 250 shows around the world for his Divide tour and releasing his latest album, No. 6 Collaborations Project in July 2019. On February, Ed wed his longtime girlfriend Cherry Seaborn. – Rappler.com
