Pop star Ed Sheeran will go on a detox retreat to make up for his 2015 booze-filled schedule. According to a report, The "Thinking Out Loud" singer was invited by his cousin, Jethro Sheeran, 29, to fly to Portugal after Christmas to stir clear from booze for a couple of weeks.
"I told him how it would make him healthier and help him on stage and he really took it in," says Jethro, "So we're planning a post-Christmas detox."
In his past interviews, Ed Sheeran was well aware of his need to shed some pounds. "It's my lifestyle. I haven't really been healthy to my body and my body's not liking it," Ed says. He admits that this year's busy schedule has really been about playing music and alcohol-induced fun.
Ed Sheeran has also announced recently that he was going to take a break.
He says, "I'm taking a break from my phone, emails and all social media for a while. I've had such an amazing ride over the last 5 years but I find myself seeing the world through a screen and not my eyes so I'm taking this opportunity of me not having to be anywhere or do anything to travel the world and see everything I missed."
Sheeran will not only be away from his fans next year but he also leaves a message to his family saying, "If you love me you will understand me buggering off for a bit."
Unlike One Direction's indefinite return, Sheeran reassures his fans of his return by hinting that the third album has already been in the works and will be released soon.
It is common route for artists to take long or short breaks after a successful year. This vacation is well earned by the "Sing' hitmaker after a yearlong ride of musical success.
