What happened to Ed Sheeran's Instagram account? All posts have disappeared and his profile picture has also been replaced with a white background. The pop star reveals that this will remain the case until 2023.
Fans of Ed Sheeran will probably not see or hear anything from him for the time being. The British musician is retiring for the rest of the year and has "now signed off until 2023," he writes in a new Instagram post.
He also shares a photo of himself looking out to sea on a large boulder in the middle of a beach. "See you in the new year. Love, Ed," he concludes. Sheeran has also removed all Instagram posts from his account and replaced his profile picture with a plain white background.
It is not known whether the singer uses the time to possibly produce new music. One thing is certain: Sheeran was always busy in the end. The singles "Celestial" and "Call On Me" have recently been released, and his latest album "=" was released in October 2021.
Or is the hiatus related to Sheeran's trial? Just a few weeks ago, the artist had to answer in front of a grand jury over allegations that he copied parts of his 2014 song "Thinking Out Loud" from Marvin Gaye's (1939-1984) classic "Let's Get It On" from 1972 .
The federal judge has denied the singer-songwriter's motion to dismiss the case, which has been pending since 2018, reports Billboard. The parties who filed the "Thinking Out Loud" copyright lawsuit and are part owners of the Gaye song are now demanding $100 million in damages from the British musician.
Presumably, Sheeran will primarily want to spend time with his family. In May 2022 he finally became the father of a daughter for the second time. In August 2020, he and his wife Cherry Seaborn gave birth to their daughter Lyra Antarctica. Sheeran and Seaborn have been married since 2019.
