Ed Sheeran Teases New Album Coming “Later This Year” In New 30th Birthday Post

Ed Sheeran is celebrating his 30th birthday today (Feb. 18) and with that came a teaser for a forthcoming new album.

The singer took to Instagram to share a photo of himself as he thanked fans for the birthday wishes.

“30 today. Thank you for all your wonderful messages, I feel very loved,” Sheeran gushed. “Currently dressed the same as I was on my 3rd birthday about to chow down on Colin the pirate caterpillar, poor bloke.”

Sheeran then teased that he will be “back online with the 4th installment in the series later this year.”

The fourth installment he is speaking of would be his fourth studio album, which would follow his previously released albums Plus (+) in 2011, Multiply (x) in 2014 and Divide (÷) in 2017. The yet-to-be announced project is expected to be called (-) Subtract or Minus (-) to follow the series of mathematical terms. The record will also follow his collaborative project, No. 6 Collaborations Project, that was released in July 2019.
