Ed Sheeran Is Taking A Long Break From Music

Ed Sheeran has played nearly 250 shows in his Divide tour, but now he’s saying he needs a break.

The 28-year-old star announced onstage as he performed the last date of the trek in Ipswich, England, that he was taking a hiatus.

“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,” he told the crowd, according to The Sun. “There is something very bittersweet about it. I love that you guys are here and we are ending it in Ipswich. This is my last gig for probably 18 months.”

“We’ve played all around the world. Glastonbury, Wembley Stadium,” he continued. “All these amazing venues, America, New Zealand, Australia, Asia, South America — it’s been a wild one. I was told before I came on that now at the end of this tour I’ve played to nine million people around the world. It is the biggest tour ever.” 

Well… at least he’ll have a chance to recharge!
