On his birthday (the 17th of February), British superstar Ed Sheeran gave a strong hint of a potential album release for later this year. The British artist in a social media post, shared a sweet message with the fans thanking them for their well-wishes while announcing a potential album release “later this year”.
The artist wrote, “30 today. Thank you for all your wonderful messages, I feel very loved. Currently dressed the same as I was on my 3rd birthday about to chow down on Colin the pirate caterpillar, poor bloke.” He concluded saying, “I’ll be back online with the 4th instalment in the series later this year, until then.”
The social media post was the biggest hint Sheeran gave about his fourth album, and while there is not much known about it, Sheeran returned to the spotlight in December of 2020 to release a stand-alone single ‘Afterglow’, which marked his first release since his last star-studded album ‘No.6 Collaborations Project’ which featured artist like Justin Bieber, Stormzy, Cardi B, Camila Cabello and more.
Ed Sheeran made history earlier in 2019, when all four of his LPs went to the Number 1 spot in the UK. The IFPI also awarded Sheeran with the ‘Global Recording Artist of 2017′ for ‘Divide’, and he also went on to become the first-artist in the history to music to have had the best-selling album and the best-single single of the year, simultaneously with ‘Divide’ and ‘Shape Of You’. Sheeran’s ‘Divide Tour’ also broke box-office records.
