For most new parents, having a child can make you seriously reconsider your life plans and direction and the same goes for Ed Sheeran. The 'Bad Habits' singer revealed recently that he almost didn't return to making music following the birth of his daughter.
Sheeran was on hiatus during much of 2019, taking a break from social media as well and basically disappearing for a bit. But when his wife Cherry Seaborn gave birth to their daughter in early 2020, he considered making the hiatus permanent.
“I stopped playing music for a bit. And music is entirely me as a person. Then I had my daughter and I was like: ‘Right, that’s it. This is me. I am probably just going to be a dad. I am not going to play music anymore'”.
After careful thought and some great months spent raising his newborn he had a change of heart -- much to our benefit!
Then I was suddenly like: it is more important for my daughter to grow up knowing that her parents have a work ethic?”
Now that he's back for good, we've just gotta wait for that next album!
