Looks like someone's going to be missed for a while.
Just a few hours ago, Ed Sheeran, the popular singer-songwriter behind hit songs Give Me Love, Photograph, and Thinking Out Loud, has announced that he is "taking a break" from social media on his Instagram account.
He detailed in his Instagram post, which now has 387 thousand likes, that he has found himself "seeing the world through a screen and not my eyes," so he is taking a break from phone, emails and all social media for now. He further said that he is "taking the opportunity of not having to be anywhere... to travel the world and see everything I missed."
He also confirmed via his Instagram post that his third album is "on its way and is the best thing I have made thus far".
With over 16 million Twitter and 5.5 million Instagram followers, Sheeran is hugely one of the artists to successfully roam the world. He has just finished his world tour of his second album X in Auckland, New Zealand which became number one in the UK, Australia and the US charts, was nominated for album of the year at the Grammy, and won the Brit award for the same category.
