Is Ed Sheeran taking a break from recording new music?
According to the outlet, the singer is taking a break from recording new music, as he recently shared his career change decisions. The outlet noted that Ed Sheeran mentioned that while he will work on his next album, he plans to spend the rest of the year launching a 'music program for young people.'
The Photograph singer previously donated funds to his former school, Thomas Mills High in Suffolk, after his former music teacher informed him about funding cuts in 2018. The report further noted that Sheeran also shared how he's expanding his efforts to support music education in schools that lack funding. He said, “I started doing that in the county I’m from, and we’ve just now changed to doing it nationwide."
The Perfect hitmaker added that he's visiting "more" high schools that don't have enough funding for music programs, noting that "you can see what a difference it makes." He also shared that though he's not "an academic person," he "excelled at music," and therefore, people think he's "good at something."
Sheeran continued, “I found it massively helpful to be at a state-funded school that really encouraged that." The singer shared that he is concerned because funding for music programs in England has been "cut," so he's doing everything he can to secure more funding.
