*Sobs* August 28, 2019 - 10:31 BST Aisha Nozari Ed Sheeran has announced that he's going to be taking an 18-month break from music. On Wednesday, The Sun reported that at his final gig in Ipswich, Ed told the crowd: "As you may or not know, I’ve been on the Divide tour for over two years now and this is the last day of the whole thing. There is something very bittersweet about it. I love that you guys are here and we are ending it in Ipswich. This is my last gig for probably 18 months.
"I was told before I came on that now at the end of this tour I’ve played to nine million people around the world. It is the biggest tour ever. It’s been an emotional day for a lot of people backstage. It kind of feels like, in a weird way, that you’re breaking up with a girlfriend that you’ve been with for years. It sounds odd but it has been a long tour."In July the superstar confirmed that he'd wed his childhood sweetheart, girlfriend Cherry Seaborn.
