Ed Sheeran has just wrapped up 179 shows on his Multiply tour, with his last show being in New Zealand and has now announced that it will be his last gig for awhile.

A day after the tour wrapped, he announced on Instagram that he was on a career break and would be having separating himself from his social media accounts.

In the message, he explains why he is taking a break and promises that a 3rd album is on it’s way and will be better than anything he has released so far.

After four-and-a-half years of touring, he will take a much deserved break and get ear surgery.
