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 5 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."
Ed is taking some time off to "get back to reality"
"To my family and friends, if you love me you will understand my buggering off for a bit, to my fans, the third 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. "This news comes after the grammy award winner announced that he would be taking a break from music, in order to "get back to reality…live and drive to places and listen to music and have normal conversations with people."
