English singer and songwriter, Ed Sheeran has hinted that he would be releasing a new album in the course of the year.
The Castle on the Hill hitmaker celebrated his 30th birthday, and used an Instagram post marking the special occasion to also reveal his career plans for 2021.
Sheeran revealed to his followers he plans to drop a “fourth instalment in the series” this year, which is heavily speculated to be a reference to his mathematics-themed album titles, having previously released records named Plus, Multiply, and Divide.
Alongside a picture of his birthday cake and a photo of himself as a child dressed as a pirate, he wrote: “30 today. Thank you for all your wonderful messages, I feel very loved. Currently dressed the same as I was on my 3rd birthday about to chow down on Colin the pirate caterpillar, poor bloke
“I’ll be back online with the 4th installment in the series later this year until then xx (sic).”
Although the music star didn’t give any further details, it’s thought his next album could follow the same format and be named either Minus or Subtract.
