We have always said that Ed Sheeran it’s a constant source of hot headlines. And his possible definitive withdrawal from music has been the last that he has given us after an interview for SiriusXM in which he has explained all the complicated process that he has gone through in recent years between his family life and his professional life.
The English soloist admitted during the interview that at 28 he found himself having made a brutal tour with which he raised hundreds of millions of dollars and after having sold more than 22 million copies of his musical works.
In that period of rest, reflection, disconnection … Ed Sheeran started his family and the thought of putting music aside began to cross his mind: “I stopped making music for a while. And music was. everything for me as a person. Then I had my daughter and I said to myself: ‘Well, that’s it. This is me. I’m probably just going to be a father. I’m not going to play any more music.’ I felt sad and purposeless even though I dedicated everything my time and effort to be a good father. “
A decision that could have changed the history of British music in the last decade in which the interpreter has become one of the most successful and recognized artists in the world. But luckily for everyone, including their little Lyra, Daddy Ed’s music will continue to play.
“I suddenly said to myself: is it more important for my daughter to grow up knowing that her parents have a work ethic, right? And for her to know that her parents love to work hard and love the creative process and their jobs. It’s better to see that than technically seeing an unemployed parent ” the singer-songwriter explained.
“Little by little I came back to music that way and the creative process started to flow again but it was a long period of time in which everything seemed to make no sense. For me, success is not measured in record sales or record sales. concert tickets. For me, success is more related to the songs being good and I enjoy them with my own eyes. There is always a great expectation around you. And many times in the family they tell you ‘the next album is going to be even bigger. ‘I know they say it to support me but sometimes it may not be like that and it may just be an album. It may be that an artist’s musical career is up and down rather than always up, “concluded Ed Sheeran.
