Sheeran meanwhile recently stated his intention to quit social media for around nine months. He said: "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."
