Music nearly lost one of its most popular musicians of the past decade.

Ed Sheeran has indeed revealed that he had seriously considered giving up his career.

While he had decided to take a sabbatical year in 2019, the interpreter of

Shape of You

became a dad last September.

That's when the fateful question arose: should he put aside music to devote himself to little Lyra?

“I stopped playing music for a while.

But the music is all about me as a person.

Then I had my daughter and I was like, "There you go, that's it. It's me now. I'm probably just going to be a dad. I'm not going to make music anymore." And then I got to myself. suddenly asked: isn't it more important that my daughter knows that I am serious with my job? Gradually, I came back to music and the creative process started again, ”he said. he confided in an interview for SiriusXM relayed by the NME.

The return

Good news for fans of Ed Sheeran, who made his comeback last month with a new single, Bad Habits, from his upcoming fourth album (or fifth if you include his collaboration album).

For the moment, the star has not revealed the title of this new opus, but some clues seem to indicate that it could be called "-", or "Minus", using the same pattern as the previous 3, which s 'called Plus (+), Multiply (x) and Divide (÷).

The release date hasn't been revealed either, but it's likely to hit stores before the end of the year.

In any case, this is what the artist had promised last February on his birthday, announcing "the fourth in the series" for this year.
