Ed Sheeran: ‘If I wasn’t a musician I’d be a virgin’
An honest admission from the singer...
By Nick Reilly
Ed Sheeran has made the boldest of admissions about the state of his private life in a new Instagram post.
In a video shared to Instagram, the singer was seen sitting on the floor in a stadium as he continues his ‘Mathematics’ tour across Europe.
He then turns to the camera and admits, “If I wasn’t a musician, I’d be a virgin”. The video then panned to a huge jumbotron screen, which revealed that Sheeran was playing Pokémon Stadium.
“Pokemon Stadium in the stadium #superawesomewickedcool #wannacometomybirthdayparty #itlbefunpromise #cake,” he captioned the post.
Last month saw Sheeran attack the previous Tory government during their last days of office, criticising what he believed to be a lack of support for the arts.
He told podcaster Theo Von: “I’ve been doing probably for the last seven years stuff with music in high schools because in my area, so basically in 2017/ 2018, my old music teacher came to me and he was like, ‘look, the government that is currently in charge, do not value art at all.. arts, drama, music.’ And they cut all the funding for comprehensive high schools.
“So my music teacher came to me and was going, I think they had to share between art, music and drama, like £700 per year for all three subjects. So I started funding that at my local high school. And then you see a massive uptick in kids doing production, kids doing songwriting, kids doing this.”
