Ed Sheeran's not going to be able to tour for a while next year, because he's having an operation to repair a ruptured eardrum. Did he burst it at a gig, or rocking out too loudly in the studio? Nope. He jumped off a yacht in Spain.
The singer released his second album, x, which included massive singles 'Thinking Out Loud' and 'Sing', has one more live date of his world tour left - in Auckland, New Zealand. After that, he'll celebrate Christmas by heading to New York to undergo an ear graft operation. What a gift.
Speaking to Australian radio station Nova, Sheeran said, "I have to have an operation in January on my ear because I stupidly jumped off a yacht really high up and smashed it."
He continued, "I landed wrong and it burst my eardrum so I have to go and get a graft, which means I'm not allowed to fly for a while, so it's kind of good it means I have to stay at home. I didn't realise what happened until I went in water again and it's the most painful thing having a hole in your ear drum and having water go in."
Meanwhile, Sheeran recently surprised his Sydney fans with a duet alongside Elton John. The pair performed 'Don't Go Breaking My Heart' alongside several unreleased songs of Sheeran's.
