Ed Sheeran is hitting the pause button, as a result of he says he is examined optimistic for COVID-19 … which disrupts a couple of issues in his speedy future.

The singer made the announcement Sunday on Instagram, writing … “Hey guys. Fast observe to inform you that I’ve sadly examined optimistic for Covid, so I’m now self-isolating and following authorities pointers.”

He provides, “It signifies that I’m now unable to plough forward with any in particular person commitments for now, so I’ll be doing as a lot of my deliberate interviews/performances I can from my home. Apologies to anybody I’ve let down. Be secure everybody x”

It sounds just like the man shall be properly sufficient to hold on with some scheduled tasks — of which we’re certain there’s fairly a couple of, seeing how Ed’s new album is due out subsequent week.

Talking of a type of commitments, ‘SNL’ simply introduced yesterday that Ed can be the musical visitor alongside host Kieran Culkin for Nov. 6’s episode — however it’s unclear if he’ll have the ability to make that or not … it is 13 days away, and he might presumably be properly by then.

Ed can be presupposed to be showing on “The Voice” this week as a musical mentor — however they appear to have taped his section properly earlier than this analysis. No phrase if he was planning on making an in-person go to as properly — but when so, that is nearly actually off now.
