'Something I never thought id do, but here we are. 10 years ago I was a beer guzzling, kebab munching smoker. Having kids really made me knock all those bad habits on the head (excuse the pun), and I got heavily into exercise and moderation. I started off this year doing dry jan, and just carried on being sober and exercising. I did a lot of reformer pilates and got in the best shape of my life. I kept joking that I was gonna do a Men’s Health cover, then one day was just like ‘why not’. The article is out online today, where I chat more about moderation and balance, if youre interested have a read. Thanks to @alastairthomas_pt and Cherry for getting me into fitness and changing my lifestyle over the last 5 years, and thanks to Matt and everyone at @mkreformed_ for training me on the road this year and teaching me reformer. Time for a mince pie and a pint' - @teddysphotos

Play super deluxe out now. It was so hard to choose the songs for this album, it was such a vast creative experience, but going to india brought it all together. I wanted to put on the songs that had been created outside of India too. There’s 14 songs that aren’t on the main album, which is kind of an album in itself, so I hope you have fun digging into them. They’re different themes, genres, collaborators, but all within the Play sphere. When I make albums I deep dive into as much as I can and whittle down, but sometimes you love some songs so much they have to see the light of day. This is what this deluxe is. 2025 is coming to an end now, it was the year of Play for me. Next year we start the Loop tour and il be finishing whatever is next. Thank you so much for all the love this year its been incredible. Go check out the super deluxe now on all platforms x

The behind the scenes of One Shot you should all watch to see how we did it. It’s completely nuts, the team behind it were so impressive. We had close to 1000 people on the day working on it, they all nailed it. Go check out The Making of on YouTube now x
By far the best thing i’ve been involved with in my career. this whole hour special was absolutely insanity to shoot. thank you to everyone involved in this, especially @barantini who is just a genius wizard. i really feel like everything in my career led to shooting this. i hope you enjoy it. One Shot on @netflix out now
I set up @edsheeranfnd because every child deserves to have access to a meaningful music education, and the chance to experience the joy and confidence that musical expression can bring.
Shortly after setting up my foundation, I wrote an open letter to the Prime Minister about the critical state of music education in the UK and the fact it was slipping through the cracks. The letter was backed by so many incredible people across the music industry and education who all said the same thing: music education matters. The Prime Minister replied, recognising the challenges and expressing his commitment to change.
With the help of the letter and everyone who signed it, I’m happy to say that some of the key points we raised have been recognised by the government today, marking the first change to the music curriculum in over 10 years. This involves diversifying the music genres taught in schools and removing outdated systems that stop kids from studying music and the arts as part of their school day. These changes give young people hope and the opportunity to study music.
Without the encouragement I received in school, especially from my music teacher, I wouldn’t be a musician today, and I know so many of my peers feel the same. My music education went beyond learning and playing. It helped me find confidence in myself, and music itself was - and still is - so important for my mental health.
There’s a lot more to do to support music education, especially our music teachers, but this is a step in the right direction.
Thank you so much to everyone who signed and supported the letter.
Today is a good day x

Okay, so I know this has been a long time coming, but I’m finally coming back to Latin America. This is the first lot of shows, we are coming back later in the year to do cities and countries we aren’t doing in the first half, but I’m so so so excited to come back. All dates are on my website and details for tickets, see you there guys ! x
Making and finishing Play in India was such a fun experience, but being there over the last decade touring and meeting local artists, ive been introduced to all types of music and cultures. I wanted to represent as much as I could on this EP, il give a rundown below
1. Symmetry ft @karanaujla - Karan is culture, and I love the movement hes making with Ikky at the moment. It’s been so cool watching the thing hes built, and becoming a part of that world and journey. He taught me the punjabi bits on this song in the studio, and we got to shoot an amazing video for it too. I feel like this is the beginning of our collaborative journey, I’m so excited to create more
2. Dont Look Down ft @hanumankind , @dhee___ , @musicsanthosh - I loooove HMK, and got the opportunity to meet him at Coachella and catch his show. I was obsessed with the energy and feel of it all. We connected then and have been speaking since about working together, then this came up. Santhosh is one of the greatest film composers, and also introduced me to Dhee who is such an amazing talent and voice. I wanted to represent south india on this EP and the beautiful Tamil language, and they have done such an amazing job fusing all of this together
3. Sapphire ft @arijitsingh - everyone already knows the story to this, but going to Jiaganj with my dad to create this with arijit is one of my favourite memories in my musical career
4. Heaven ft @jonitamusic - I met Jonita 2024 when I played my big show in Mumbai, and got to then do some shows with her the following year when I came back for tour. In short, I’m a fan. I love her voice, the tone, the softness. This was the perfect tune for us to do together, and is also the first Hindi song I have released. Its an honour to do it with her, what a talent
The EP is out now, ive loved this collaboration process so much, I hope you enjoy it, and hopefully discover new things. Loads of love x
I made an EP of remixes for Play with some incredible Indian artists. It’s out friday, along with the music video for Symmetry featuring @karanaujla, which is amazing x

Play is the album that’s made me fall in love with fun again. Writing and recording Subtract was so cathartic but also so heavy. Going into Stereo after Mathematics ended I wanted to start with the polar opposite. Play celebrates love, life, culture, exploring, creativity and technicolour. I’ve loved making this record and the last 6 months have been just what I needed to get back into the swing of things - to reheat my love for pop, and popping up. It’s an album I’m immensely proud of, and just makes me feel good. I hope it does the same for you. Thank you to all my insanely talented collaborators, and all the fans along the journey who have been at all our pop ups. More to come. Play is out now, lemme know in the comments what your fav song is x
Collab capsule with @kidsuper drops today at their store in Williamsburg. Had so much fun making this with Colm, super playful, super creative. I love them, wearing the pink hoodie now as we speak. Get down there from 11am, try grab something fast it’ll all go soon. I’ll be down there later tonight so pop in
When the Divide tour ended in 2019, I had already planned Mathematics in my head. It was inspired by conversations I’d had with Michael Gudinski about playing my show in the round, a 360 view, much like the U2 tour. But we wanted to create a cable knit system that held up the PA to allow more people to see the show. The cable knit system is complex, and had been done only once before, but as a permanent structure by someone else, but no one had attempted to make it portable, and built and rebuilt every week. My touring team are incredible. they have made the impossible happen week in week out, and are some of the hardest working people in the business, thank you to them for everything we’ve achieved on this tour. Thank you to the amazing musicians I share the stage with week in week out, and the guests and openers I’ve had the honour of having on this run. I’m constantly inspired and challenged, I love it. Thank you to the 10 million fans who have moved heaven and earth to come to these shows. These shows don’t happen without you, it’s been the best professional experience of my life. And lastly thank you to my family. Cherry, Ly and Jupes, my girls, my everything. This tour was made more incredible by being able to share my dream coming true with the 3 people I love most in the world. Mathematics is fully over now, what a finale. Play is out Friday, and the next decade is dedicated to Stereo, on a Loop. Until then. Love you all x
My original Camera music video idea was using private home footage of mine and Cherrys key moments of our relationship. But as you guys know, we are an intensely private couple, and some things we wanted to keep just for us. So I recreated a few key moments of our relationship for the music video with the wonderful @phoebedynevor . It was so fun shooting this video, almost felt like a holiday for the whole shoot. It was all done on iPhone, and directed by the wonderful @emilnava . Hope you guys love the song, and the video. Both mean the world to me. Camera out September 12th with Play x
Coming to play some shows in europe. these shows will be more intimate than a stadium show, obvz, but still will be incredible. i love playing these venues so much. if you wanna come, pre-order Play for the chance to access pre-sale tickets. for UK shows pre-order on @amazonmusicuk before 7pm BST on 7th Sept. for EU shows pre-order on my official store before 3pm BST on 8th Sept x
4 shows in Copenhagen, it’s been magical. Had to give @lukasgraham a call and get him up for this. Hometown hero, and what an incredible song to sing. I feel like our careers mirror each others in so many ways, but hanging with him today I’ve realised how much our lives mirror each others too. Was so an honour sharing a stage with you man, thank you for giving such a special moment for the penultimate weekend of this tour. It all ends next weekend, see you there, and love you all x
When I started painting, I only did it for fun and to give to friends. When @heni approached me to put some work in an exhibition, I said I would only do it if my proceeds could go to my music foundation, coz I loved the idea of art funding art. After 6 weeks of the exhibition being up, we’ve sold all the paintings, and a lot of prints / merch. We’ve raised $1.25M usd from it all, which will do absolutely incredible things for the youth in UK. I’m so grateful to Heni for giving me a platform and a space to create and exhibit. And thank you to everyone who came down to the show to see my paintings. All we raised will go a long way to bring the arts to everyone, all over Britain. Loads of love x
I was a Stan growing up of @eminem, everyone knows the story of me learning his raps and curing my stutter. The surreal thing for me is to be on the other side of the curtain now, and having him as a friend and collaborator. I got interviewed for his Movie, Stans, and it’s out now in the US, tomorrow in UK/EU x
I’ve known @1.cuz now for a long time, weve become close friends, we’ve collaborated on a #1 song together, and I love him as a human being. We played 2step together at his show on Thursday, so I said we should do Försent at mine, if he taught me Swedish. How was my Swedish ? Love you Stockholm, til next time
Talking Body is like crack to me, I’m still obsessed with it 10 years later. It was the first song on my party playlist way back when, and it was such a buzz getting to play with @tovelo tonight in Stockholm. She’s incredible at everything, but it was magic tonight. Bloody love being back in Sweden x

Overwhelming response to this song and video. Releasing something this personal always feels really bare and open, but I always find the deeper and more honest I go with lyrics, the more people connect to it. Also, who knew I looked so amazing in a wedding dress. The sound is up now if you wanna start making videos directed to your exes with the song, I wanna see em all, get creative gang
I hadn’t worked with @rupertgrint in 14 years since Lego house, so didn’t know if he’d say yes to this idea. But I’m so glad he did. It’s such a fun, bonkers video. Longest video shoot I had ever done at that time, and deffo the most costume changes. Shout out to @emilnava for always bringing my mad ideas to life. And @nathalieemmanuel too for being amazing. Rupert, my brother from another mother, thank you for throwing yourself into this, it wouldn’t exist had you said no. A Little More out now x
14 years later me and @rupertgrint are reunited. I had this wild idea after writing the song, and thankfully rupert was up for it. It’s an utterly bonkers video for a very upbeat, fun, but angry song. Think this one is gonna be a lot of people’s fav song from Play. Out Thursday, watch out for more stuff coming x
So fun rocking Oslo tonight with @sigrid hometown hero. She’s one of the coolest, really appreciate her flying over for this show, felt only right to have her come and sing this for everyone tonight. I’ve loved her music for years but now I know she’s as cool as I thought she was, if not cooler. Such a fun time. Can’t wait to hear the rest of the album when it comes out x
One of my fav experiences ever in my career was going to Jiaganj Azimganj with my dad to go and see @arijitsingh for the final jigsaw piece of Sapphire. It was a 24 hour trip, and felt like a pilgrimage of music. After a 5 and a half hour drive when we landed, we arrived, Arijit took us on a boat to see the sights. talked, ate, drunk coffee. then once we were in the studio he taught me how to sing in Punjabi, and a bit of Sitar. We then went on a late night scooty ride, with me on the back of Arijits bike and my dad on the back of his securities. We listened to prayer by the river and talked about music. it was honestly one of the most amazing days in my musical career, and was the ending of a beautiful journey of this song, but beginning of something bigger. i love this version of the song, its the one i listen to every morning with my daughters, because i love Arijits voice, tone, flow and rhythm. i hope you feel the same way i do about it. thank you Arijit for your time, grace and talent. Sapphire feat. Arijit out now on all platforms
Starting a brand new tour next year called the LOOP tour. New stage, new tricks, new set up, new songs and all the classics added in. We kick it off in Australia and New Zealand in Jan, Feb, March 2026, which is always the best time, I can’t wait to be back. Tickets on sale Tues 29th July, see you all there x
