Ed Sheeran takes a “breather” from music

Just a few days after releasing a music video for his new song ‘Put It All on Me’, British music star Ed Sheeran took to social media to announce that he is taking a break from work and social media “until it’s time to come back”.

“Hello all. Gonna go on another break again,” the singer wrote on his official Instagram handle. “The [third album] Divide era and tour changed my life in so many ways, but now it’s all over, it’s time to go out and see some more of the world.”

Sheeran continued, “I’ve been a bit nonstop since 2017, so I’m just gonna take a breather to travel, write, and read. I’ll be off social media until it’s time to come back. To my family and friends, see ya when I see ya — and to my fans, thank you for always being amazing, I promise to be back with some new music when the time is right and I’ve lived a little more to actually have something to write about.”

Earlier this year, Spotify announced that Sheeran topped the 2010s most-streamed song rankings with ‘Shape of You’, which raked up over 2.3 billion total streams since the start of the decade. The singer also earned multiple entries on YouTube’s most-watched videos of the decade list, and was crowned UK’s top recording artist of the decade by the Official Charts Company.

This isn’t the first time the British music artist has taken a break. In 2015, the singer announced that he’d stay away from social media for the near future. A year later, he returned with his chart-topping third album, Divide.
