ED SHEERAN, COVID 19 AND ... MATHEMATICS!

 




Hi everyone! Today my post is about one of the best - known and acclaimed pop-stars in the world, who has sold more than 45 million albums and 150 million singles: Ed Sheeran.

A TALENTED CHILD

Edward Christopher Sheeran, known as Ed Sheeran, was born in England and is now 30 years old. He immediately discovered his passion for music without knowing that It would be so important in his future.  In 2006 and 2007 he released his first albums which were not very successful. But things changeD when he releases the single The A Team… hence his rise to international fame. From that moment Ed began to be featured in popular TV programs, music programs,  and he also got to collaborate with very famous singers and bands like One Direction, Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, Eminem, Justin Bieber and Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli.



ED SHEERAN AND HIS POSITIVITY TO COVID-19

The singer, who had always encouraged his fans to get vaccinated against Covid-19,, contracted the virus a week after meeting Prince William and Kate Middleton at the 2021 Earthshot Prize Awards in London in mid-October.

"Hey guys. Quick note to tell you that I have unfortunately tested positive for Covid, so now I am in self-isolation and I am following the guidelines of the government. It means that, for now, I am unable to move forward with any in-person commitments, so I will be doing as many scheduled interviews / performances as possible from my home. I apologize to anyone who has disappointed. Everyone be safe. “

With this message posted on Sunday 24 October  on Instagram, Ed Sheeran announced that he had tested positive for the Coronavirus. In video call  with  the Italian show "Che tempo che fa" , Ed also explained that he was not feeling very well, despite having been vaccinated, so he urged all people to pay close attention, even if they were vaccinated.

He also said that in addition to him his daughter, Lyra, also tested positive, but that he was delighted because he was able to spend 10 days with her. Due to the positivity to the Coronavirus, Ed had to cancel some gigs in his promotion tour for his new album.                     

During his "quarantine",  Ed Sheeran also told about  some past anecdotes, including about the closeness to his friend Elton John,  who called him every day to find out how he was doing.


MATHEMATICS + MUSIC + ED SHEERAN

Ed Sheeran is tireless. His new album "Equals" ("=") has just been released after his previous albums "Plus" ("+"), "Multiply" ("X") and "Divide" ("÷") . 

 This latest album of his bears the title of a mathematical sign, this time "=" because he is fond of mathematical symbols. In it Ed Sheeran offers us a mature album where he reflects on the most important things in life:       

 Life: after the birth of his daughter.                                                                                 

 Death: after losing a very dear friend.                                                                                                       

The Minus ("-") acoustic collection is coming next year. But the next symbols will no longer have to do with mathematics, the artist specified... and curiosity grows.

 


THE MADNESS OF SUCCESS

One thing that not everyone knows, however, is that Ed Sheeran, in a sensational phase of his career, abused alcohol, food and drugs; especially during the grueling tour to promote "X" between 2014 and 2015. But luckily for him, Cherry Seaborn – now his wife -  arrived in July 2015 and changed his life:  "she trains a lot, so I started running with her“, Ed said, and has also started painting in the last few months. She eats quite healthy food, so I have been following her diet too. Besides, she doesn't drink much: now I don't drink anymore either. "

 

 

For the most die-hard  Italian fans: at the end of November Ed Sheeran will be at the Mondadori Store in Piazza Duomo in Milan to meet 400 lucky Italian fans who will buy his album from the store!

Cristiano, 3sc
