"I was like, ‘That’s it, this is me, I’m just going to be a dad. I’m not going to play music anymore.'"
Ed Sheeran experienced a major mindset shift around the birth of his first child, revealing in a new interview that he nearly considered giving up music altogether. He welcomed daughter Lyra Antarctica Seaborn Sheeran with his wife, Cherry Seaborn, in August 2020. The baby was born just after the “Bad Habits” singer finished one of his biggest albums and tours, and he was unsure of what to do next. “I remember standing on the Ipswich stage finishing and then getting off stage and just being like, I’m 28,” he told SiriusXM’s Mikey Piff this month. “And like, I don’t know what to do now — I’ve chased and chased and chased and chased and got to this thing. And then in my year off, I was kind of searching for who I was because I stopped playing music for a bit.”More Related News
