Ed Sheeran Announces Social Media Hiatus and Teases New Album

(Radio.com) Ed Sheeran has taken a self-imposed break from social media to see everything he's "missed" by viewing the word through electronic screens. Sheeran posted a letter to his 5.5 million Instagram followers on Sunday (Dec. 13) outlining his reasons for the social media cleanse.

'Hello all. I'm taking a break from my phone, emails and all social media for a while," Sheeran wrote. "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've missed."

The note included a plea for understanding to all, while he explores the world unplugged. 'To my family and friends, if you love me you will understand me buggering off for a bit, to my fans, the 3rd album is on its way and is the best thing I have made thus far," he said. "See you all next autumn, and thank you for being amazing."
