English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran revealed that he would not release any music this year

Ed Sheeran revealed that while he was currently working on several projects and songs, he would not drop any of those this year. In the exclusive interview with People, the singer stated:

"I released two records on tour last year and it's quite a lot being on tour and releasing records. So, I've made the new music and I'm just going to sit on it for a bit."

Upon being asked about his recent work, he said,

"That I'm working on them and they're new songs. But nothing's going to come out this year."

The singer further opened up about his daughters and how they feel about his music. According to him, his daughters Lyra Antarctica and Jupiter, are fond of his tracks. When asked if the children listen to his songs, he said,

"Yeah, of course, of course. Mostly my new songs because I don't really play my old songs in the house."

Ed Sheeran added:

"I feel it'd be quite weird to just put on my discography, so they mostly know the new songs that I'm working on because I play them quite a lot."

The singer has previously mentioned that his life changed after he became a father of two kids, whom he shares with his wife Cherry. On The Late Night Show, the singer-songwriter told James Corden,

"Well, I became a dad and I feel like my lifestyle shift has changed. Instead of going to bed at six [a.m.], I'm getting up at four..."

The singer added that after becoming a dad, he seemingly had been living a healthy life with regular exercise as well. He also began spending more time with his family at home working and also felt "like a human being" after such a transition into fatherhood. In December 2023, he told Ellen DeGeneres on her chat show that having the kids gave him a "purpose" in life.
