LONDON - British singer Ed Sheeran has revealed he is "just about to move to America,” reported PA Media/dpa.
The 34-year-old said he was making the move with his family due in part to an upcoming United States (US) tour, in an interview with "The 2 Johnnies Podcast."
He said: "I’m just about to move to America… I feel like I might be the only person moving to America… I’m going on tour there for a while, so I have a family, so I can’t dip in and out, we’re going and settling there.”
It comes after the "Lego House” singer revealed earlier this year that he was aiming to move to Nashville and transition to country music.
He told the "Call Her Daddy" podcast in April: "When you transition to country, you can’t transition back.
"Nashville is my favourite city in the US, and it’s always been my end goal to move to Nashville and transition to country music.”
In another interview with "The Louis Theroux Podcast" in June, Sheeran said he identified "culturally as Irish” despite being "obviously born and raised in Britain.”
The singer was born in Halifax, West Yorkshire, but moved to Framingham Earl in Suffolk as a child and has owned a minority share in nearby football club Ipswich Town since last year, with the club being relegated from the Premier League at the end of the 2024-2025 season.
He has had 14 UK number one singles and eight UK number one albums, with the singer’s best known songs including "The A Team," "Sing and Don’t." - BERNAMA-PA MEDIA/dpa
