Ed sheeran is hitting the pause button, because he says he’s tested positive for COVID-19 … which disrupts a few things in his immediate future.
The singer made the announcement Sunday on Instagram, writing … “Hey guys. Quick note to tell you that I’ve sadly tested positive for Covid, so I’m now self-isolating and following government guidelines.”
He adds, “It means that I’m now unable to plough ahead with any in person commitments for now, so I’ll be doing as many of my planned interviews/performances I can from my house. Apologies to anyone I’ve let down. Be safe everyone x”
It sounds like the guy will be well enough to carry on with some scheduled responsibilities — of which we’re sure there’s quite a few, seeing how Ed’s new album is due out next week.
Ed is also supposed to be appearing on “The Voice” this week as a musical mentor — but they seem to have taped his segment well before this diagnosis. No word if he was planning on making an in-person visit as well — but if so, that’s almost certainly off now.
