Sheeran posted a six-slide Instagram statement saying venues threatened to pull future shows if Macklemore remained on the bill, distancing himself from the decision while noting he has not spoken publicly about the Gaza conflict.
Following AU/NZ and Latin America legs in early 2026, the North American stadium run kicked off in June 2026 and runs through November, billed as a completely new stage concept with songs from 'Play' alongside classics.
Out September 12 via Gingerbread Man/Atlantic, 'Play' draws on Indian and Persian musical influences and is the first in a planned pentalogy of albums named after media control symbols.
He debuted the nostalgic single at a bespoke British pub he built inside Coachella 2025 and simultaneously launched an archival Instagram account sharing unseen photos from a phone he retired in 2015.

Teddysphotos is the Instagram presence of Ed Sheeran, the Suffolk-raised British singer-songwriter whose catalogue spans multiple chart-defining eras — from the acoustic breakthrough of 'The A Team' in 2011 through stadium-filling albums marked by coloured mathematical symbols. The handle reflects his childhood nickname 'Teddy' and his early habit of sharing personal snapshots, a habit that has scaled into one of the largest musician followings on the platform. Sheeran built his early fanbase through relentless touring and a distinctly unpolished public image — loop-pedal live sets and word-of-mouth rather than industry machinery — and that grassroots authenticity has carried forward into how he manages his social presence even at mega-tier scale.
Teddysphotos reaches an audience concentrated in United Kingdom primarily through YouTube, and is best activated via Instagram Reels and Stories. As a music creator they map naturally to brands targeting that space. With no brand deals logged yet, they read as an available, category-aligned partner for advertisers building early presence in the space. Engagement on YouTube runs around 0.6%, which points to an audience better suited to category-relevant, mid-funnel campaigns than to pure-reach buys. Their YouTube-first format lends itself to integrations that sit inside the creator's usual content rather than running as standalone ads. Because the audience follows music content rather than arriving through untargeted reach, sponsorships that match the channel's subject matter tend to convert more efficiently than broad placements. A consistent, on-topic posting focus gives sponsors a predictable, brand-safe environment, lowering placement risk compared with broad, general-interest channels. Campaigns here are best measured on qualified engagement and consideration within the niche rather than on raw impression volume. For United Kingdom-focused brands in music and related categories, Teddysphotos offers a defined, creative-fit audience rather than broad, low-intent impressions.

"Teddy" is a personal nickname Ed Sheeran has carried since childhood, used by close friends and family rather than the broader public who know him by his stage name. The handle @teddysphotos pairs that nickname with the candid, photo-diary style of the account, deliberately setting it apart from a typical polished celebrity page.
Yes — Ed Sheeran confirmed it in one of his "Life Update Dumpington" Instagram posts, explaining he had wanted to shave his hair ahead of a specific personal commitment. Those posts are known for his unfiltered, direct updates to fans rather than the kind of managed PR announcements you would expect from an artist at his level.
Ed Sheeran is married to Cherry Seaborn, his childhood sweetheart from Suffolk, England, in a private ceremony in late 2018. Cherry was diagnosed with a tumor in the early 2020s, a deeply difficult period Ed has spoken about openly and which heavily influenced the emotional direction of his music during those years.
Yes — Ed Sheeran appeared in the Season 7 premiere of Game of Thrones, playing a Lannister soldier who sings around a campfire in a scene alongside Arya Stark. It became one of the most widely discussed celebrity cameos in the show's entire run, generating a large wave of reaction and parody online.
Ed Sheeran founded Gingerbread Man Records, his own imprint, to retain creative and business control over his music and to develop other artists he champions. The label operates under a major-label partnership while keeping Sheeran meaningfully independent over key decisions about his releases.
Ed Sheeran has appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon multiple times over his career, using the platform to debut new singles and take part in the show's viral games and segments. His Instagram posts tagged #fallontonight correspond directly to those appearances as part of his album promotional cycles.
"Wedding Crashers" is a track Ed Sheeran has shared content about through his @teddysphotos Instagram, sitting within his catalog of emotionally driven, folk-influenced pop storytelling. He consistently uses his personal Instagram account to roll out new music directly to fans rather than relying on traditional press announcements.
Ed Sheeran has multiple songs in Spotify's Billions Club — tracks that have surpassed one billion streams — with "Shape of You" standing as one of the most-streamed individual songs in the platform's history. His use of the hashtag #billionsliveclub in Instagram posts marks ongoing milestones as further tracks from his back catalog cross that threshold.
Ed Sheeran grew up in Framlingham, a small market town in Suffolk in the east of England, and the rural setting has been a recurring reference point in both his interviews and his songwriting. He has maintained strong ties to the area throughout his global career and often cites returning there as a grounding influence on his life.
Ed Sheeran and Cherry Seaborn have two daughters, including their eldest Lyra Antarctica Seaborn Sheeran, born in 2020. He has spoken extensively about fatherhood being one of the most stabilising forces in his life, particularly during the personally turbulent period that shaped his more recent albums.
