Ed Sheeran received some unwelcome news before the October 29 release of his highly anticipated fourth album, entitled "=": he has COVID.
In an Instagram post on Sunday, the "Shivers" singer wrote, "Hey guys. Quick note to tell you that I've sadly tested positive for Covid, so I'm now self-isolating and following government guidelines."
Unfortunately, the surprise positive test means he won't be doing in-person promo for his album, but will "be doing as many of my planned interviews/performances I can from my house."
Just last week, Sheeran performed "Visiting Hours" at the Earthshot Prize Awards.
His episodes of "The Voice" will begin airing Monday.
