Did Ed think his fans lost interest in him?

After the success of his last album, Multiply, Ed Sheeran began to feel like his fans were getting sick of him-it's the reason he decided to wait a year before releasing anything new. "I remember dropping a song just before I took a year off and it was such a lukewarm reaction," he admits. "It was like, 'Here's a new song,' and everyone was like, 'Ugh…cool." Fortunately, taking a break from the spotlight was just what he needed. "I went away, which could have been bad," he shares. "It could've just resulted in people losing interest but, thankfully, it's made people more excited."
