Back on March 16, 2017, Ed Sheeran began his Divide tour. On Monday, after 260 shows, he finally ended it. Before he sang his final note, he had a message for his fans.
He said, “As you may or not know, I’ve been on the Divide tour for over two years now and this is the last day of the whole thing. There is something very bittersweet about it. I love that you guys are here and we are ending it in Ipswich. This is my last gig for probably 18 months.
“We’ve played all around the world. Glastonbury, Wembley Stadium. All these amazing venues, America, New Zealand, Australia, Asia, South America — it’s been a wild one. I was told before I came on that now at the end of this tour I’ve played to nine million people around the world. It is the biggest tour ever.
“It’s been an emotional day for a lot of people backstage. It kind of feels like, in a weird way, that you’re breaking up with a girlfriend that you’ve been with for years. It sounds odd but it has been a long tour.”
The Sun says that he is expected to spend the time off with his new wife and maybe start a family. Normally, I would be upset about this news. However, after his last break, we got Divide. The best album released in the last decade. Thus, I am OK with his hiatus.
