London: Ed Sheeran has announced that he is taking a break from the social media to travel the world.
The British singer and musician, who boasts some 16 million Twitter and 5.5 million Instagram followers, shared a note on Instagram saying that he is "taking the opportunity of not having to be anywhere... to travel the world".
“I’m taking a break from my phone, emails and all social media for a while. I’ve had such an amazing ride over the last five years but I find myself seeing the world through a screen and not my eyes so I’m taking this opportunity of me not having to be anywhere or do anything to travel the world and see everything I missed,” Sheeran posted.
The musician apologized to his friends and family members, hoping they would understand his desire to take off time. "To my family and friends, if you love me you will understand me buggering off for a bit," he wrote.
However, stressing that he is not leaving his work, the 24-year-old also added that his third album is on its way. “It will be the best thing I have made thus far. See you all next autumn, and thank you for being amazing," added the “Lego House” singer.
