One of the biggest music artists in the world- Ed Sheeran recently revealed that he was not going to play music anymore as he wanted to focus on fatherhood but didn't quit as "music is entirely me as a person". People Magazine reported that Ed recently appeared in an interview with SiriusXM radio where he revealed that he considered leaving his career behind to focus on being a dad to his 11-month-old daughter Lyra, but decided it was for the best for him and his family that he "continues making music". "There was a long period of time where I just didn't really know. Everything was directionless," Ed said.
"I had finished the Divide tour and Divide sold definitely like over 22 million copies, which is like more copies than I've ever sold with an album. The tour was heavily publicized, it was the biggest tour of all time and sold in like 19 seconds, and I remember standing on the Ipswich stage finishing and then getting off stage and just being like, I'm 28. And like, I don't know what to do now -- I've chased and chased and chased and chased and got to this thing," the 30-year-old singer added.
