Grammy-winning British singer Ed Sheeran has announced plans to take a temporary break from his music career to focus on his family after completing his current tour.
The Shape of You singer shared the update on Saturday, June 13, 2026, during the opening night of his LOOP tour in Glendale, Arizona.
Speaking to the audience, the father of two explained his decision to step away from the spotlight to spend quality time with his children.
“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.”
Sheeran and his wife, Cherry Seaborn, married in 2019 and share two young daughters. This planned hiatus is not the artist’s first break from the industry, as he previously took extended breaks from music in 2015 and again between 2019 and 2021 following his highly successful Divide tour.
