Ed Sheeran says he’s planning to disappear for a while

Ed Sheeran has spent the last few years becoming one of the biggest-selling artists in the world, but he's doing a David Bowie and going underground.

The singer says he's planning a nine-month break from the spotlight on December 12 to be with his friends and family - including social media. He told The Sun: "I’ll put a post out saying, ‘I’m with friends and family - if you love me you’ll allow me to disappear for a few months and I’ll speak to you in a bit’. I think a break for me is coming off my phone, social media and emails. "I am constantly on my phone, texting, replying to emails, on Twitter, on Snapchat, on Facebook. I just want to get off it and live and drive to places and listen to music and have normal conversations with people and get back to normality. I’ve got a packed schedule, then, when December 12 comes, it’s done." He's not pregnant, is he?
