British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran returned to the music scene today (January 6) with the release of two brand new singles, but he also sat down for an interview with BBC Radio 1 and explained that he no longer owns a mobile phone. 

Chatting on BBC Radio 1's Breakfast Show this morning, the star explained that he was spending too much time on social media so decided to get rid of his phone and live a more authentic, human life:

"I literally don't have a phone. I just do emails on an iPad. I have quite an addictive personality and I was just kind of glued to it the whole time. I wasn't having conversations with anyone. So my New Year's resolution was to get off social media and I got rid of my phone. And then I came back and did the tweets on the iPad and then left it and I haven't really been checking it and it has been really nice."
