Due to his growing popularity, at one point there were nearly 10,000 people in Ed Sheeran’s contact book. The singer was in constant contact with many people at the same time, as a result of which he spent many hours in virtual reality. “I woke up in the morning and there were about 50 messages on my phone each time. None of them were like, ‘Hey, how are you?'” – he said 7 years ago in an interview with Carpool Karaoke.
Ed Sheeran doesn’t use a smartphone
So in 2015, he decided to take a break from the smartphone. Initially, he assumed that it would last a year, but after a few months he realized that this solution suited him very well. 9 years have passed since then. “I feel like when it comes to phone calls, everyone expects you to respond right away, and if you don’t respond, it’s rude. Sometimes we just don’t have time to respond, but when we finally respond, others respond too, and suddenly we’re engaged in something like 40 conversations at once. I was simply losing touch with reality, so I got rid of my phone, bought an iPad and transferred everything to e-mails, which I answer once a week,” explained the singer in the program “Therapuss with Jake Shane”.
In 2015, Ed Sheeran found himself at the peak of fame thanks to the album “X”, released a year earlier, which included songs such as “Sing”, “Don’t” and “Thinking Out Loud”. For the last song, he was nominated for the British Phonographic Market Awards in the categories British Artist’s Music Video of the Year and British Single of the Year.
