Early headlines rumoured that Ellie Goulding was to quit music after splitting with Dougie Poynter. This rumour was quashed by two time BRIT award winner Goulding on via Twitter:
I am not quitting music, I've come too far for that! Just having a break. It's been seven years since I had time off…. Love you all
— Ellie Goulding (@elliegoulding) March 10, 2016
Nominated for many awards, it would have been confusing for fans to think she would quit so suddenly. Nominated for two MTV Music Awards for the outstanding, ‘I Need Your Love’ (featuring Calvin Harris) and the popular summer anthem of last year, ‘Love Me Like You Do’, Ellie Goulding has a distinguished discography to build on. Her timely break – her first admittedly for seven years – will help her to have a fresh start and build an anticipated come back.
After a hefty ten nominations for the World Music Awards, including World’s Best Song and World’s Best Video for ‘Burn’, Goulding will hope to achieve here upon her return to the music scene – there will certainly be a gap without her presence.
This October will see the completion of her world tour, Delirium. Goulding is currently in the UK:
