Ed Sheeran Almost Quit Music After Daughter Was Born: 'I Am Probably Just Going to Be a Dad'

was in when his daughter was born. The singer was coming off the massively successful tour in support of his 2017album, which ran 260 shows and set world records for tour grosses with more than $776 million in receipts. With that kind of success, Sheeran toldin a recent interview that he considered calling it a day and just being a stay-at-home dad.

But once Sheeran and wife Cherry Seaborn welcomed daughter Lyra in September 2020 and they had some time at home with her, he very quickly had second thoughts. He remembered standing on the stage in Ipswich on the last night of the tour in late August 2019 and thinking,"I'm 28 and, like, I don't know what to do now. I've kind of, like, chased and chased and chased and chased and got to this thing and then in my year off I was kind of searching for, like, who I was.

He stopped playing music for a bit, and despite realizing that music is"entirely" who he is as a person, when Lyra was born he said he realized,"Right, that's it ... this is me I'm just gonna be a dad. I'm not gonna play music anymore." As you might imagine, this change of heart made him"really sad" because, other than putting time and effort into being a dad, he felt like he had no purpose.And then, an epiphany.

Luckily for Sheerios, Ed pulled out of his"directionless" period and got to work on music again, which will result in his upcoming as-yet-untitled fourth solo studio album, which he's previewed with the single"Bad Habits.

‘We’re f---ed’: Dems fear turnout catastrophe from GOP voting lawsInterviews with more than three dozen Democratic elected officials, party operatives and voting rights activists across the country reveal growing concern — bordering on alarm — about the potential impact in 2022 of the raft of new voting restrictions. Hmm. Less panic. More reaching out with education. It’s beyond alarm. The republicans are funneling in money from wealthy corporate oligarchs to fund the 2022 campaigns. Add that to the record levels of voter suppression and there’s no way we hold the house or the senate. Without the JohnLewisVotingRightsAct or HR1 it’s over. Legal voting is not restricting!
