Ed Sheeran announces the end of an era

Ed Sheeran is taking a break. But don't worry: It's not you, it's him.

Here's what the world's most successful ginger tweeted immediately after unveiling his last (for now) single, Lay It All On Me last night.

This is my final thing I'm releasing for a while. Bad news if you like me, great news if you don't. We cater for everyone at SheeranCorp

The song, a collaboration with dustbin lid enthusiasts Rudimental is a fittingly brilliant farewell. In fact, it's the best thing Rudimental have done since Waiting All Night.

I can't wait to see the video.
