Ed Sheeran told fans he planned to take a temporary break from music to ‘do the dad thing’ for a while.
The 35-year-old musician said this on stage during the opening night of his North American LOOP tour in Glendale, Arizona on Saturday night.
Pausing to chat to the crowd after singing a series of his well known hits, Ed told them that they ‘may not see him again for a while’.
Ed said: ‘This is gonna be my last time here in a while. I might take some time off once this tour has ended and sort of do the dad thing.
‘So if I don’t see you for a while, I love you, thank you for coming.’
Ed shares his two children, Lyra, five, and Jupiter, four, with his wife Cherry Seaborn, who he married in January 2019 after first meeting as children.
The star has been away from his family for most of the year already, beginning his tour in New Zealand in January before performing in Australia and South America.
Ed will play his show across North America for the next five months, concluding the long run of performances in Tampa, Florida, on November 7.
