Jakarta, ThedailyID — Ed Sheeran has revealed plans to take a break from music in the future so he can focus on raising his children and spending more time with his family.
The British singer-songwriter said family remains his top priority despite his successful career and global touring schedule.
Speaking in a recent interview, Sheeran explained that he does not want to spend most of his children’s formative years away from home. As a result, he is considering stepping back from music when the time feels right.
The Grammy-winning artist shares two daughters with his wife, Cherry Seaborn. He has often spoken about how becoming a father changed his perspective on life and work.
According to Sheeran, balancing parenthood and a demanding music career can be challenging. Therefore, he wants to ensure he remains actively involved in his children’s upbringing.
The singer emphasized that he is not planning an immediate retirement. Instead, he hopes to gradually adjust his schedule and spend more time at home as his children grow older.
Meanwhile, Sheeran continues to release new music and perform for fans around the world. However, he acknowledged that family commitments increasingly influence his career decisions.
Over the years, the singer has occasionally taken breaks from the spotlight to focus on his personal life. Those pauses, he said, helped him maintain a healthier balance between fame and family.
For now, Sheeran remains active in the music industry. Nevertheless, he made it clear that fatherhood will ultimately play a major role in shaping the next chapter of his career.
