Ed Sheeran has announced the release of his long-awaited new acoustic album - (Subtract), the final LP in his Mathematics era and more than a decade in the making.
This morning (March 1), Ed put speculation to rest that he was about to announce new material, unveiling in full the details of his sixth studio album, which has been co-written and produced by Aaron Dessner, who worked on close friend Taylor Swift's lockdown albums folklore and evermore.
More than a decade in the making, Ed had collected over 200 songs that he said was part of his plan to make "the perfect acoustic album" but several personal crises last year saw the album in that form scrapped.
It's also been announced that Ed will be heading out on a small UK arena tour in support of the album - with shows taking place this March, where he'll be performing the yet-to-be-announced lead single from Subtract.
In a statement, Ed said: "Within the space of a month, my pregnant wife got told she had a tumour, with no route to treatment until after the birth. My best friend Jamal, a brother to me, died suddenly and I found myself standing in court defending my integrity and career as a songwriter. I was spiralling through fear, depression and anxiety.
