Ed Sheeran has said that he will take a break from music, both for his own sanity and to avoid "overkill".
According to The Sun, Sheeran will take a break from music after he finishes his world tour. Also he has delayed the release of his long rumoured Christmas single until next year in order to avoid alienating the public.
"I haven't had any time off since before I signed my record deal and I want some! I'll do what I enjoy and it won't feel like work," he said.

"(The Christmas song) won't be out this Christmas," he continued. "I have 'Thinking Out Loud' as a single going into Christmas. If I saw an artist have a string of hits, an album that did well, a hit going into Christmas and then they did a Christmas single I'd think, 'Ooh, that's overkill'.
"If my song came out next year or the year after, when I haven't released anything for a while, it will be bigger".
Sheeran is currently in the middle of his autumn tour. Tickets can be purchased from here.
