Ed Sheeran Leaves Music for Paintbrush: Unveiling His Artistic Side
ED SHEERAN TRADES MIC FOR BRUSH: POP STAR'S SURPRISING NEW CAREER AS ARTIST EXPOSED
In a shocking move that's got everyone buzzing, Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran has traded in his microphone for a paintbrush! The 34-year-old British icon has been quietly pursuing a new passion - art! And we're not just talking about your run-of-the-mill, amateur-hour paintings. No, no! Ed Sheeran's latest endeavor is a full-blown, professional art collection that's got everyone from the art world to his devoted fanbase talking!
Titled "Cosmic Carpark Paintings", Ed's debut collection is a series of stunning original canvases and unique prints that he created during his Mathematics tour last year. But what makes this news so juicy? It turns out that Ed was inspired by celestial forms - think galaxies, stars, and planets! Who knew the king of pop had such a thing for space?!
According to sources close to the singer, Ed started painting as a creative outlet towards the end of his Divide Tour in 2019. And let's just say he's been hooked ever since! "I'd run to a disused car park in Soho each morning, paint and then run home," he revealed in an exclusive interview with thescholarlynote.com. Talk about dedication!
But Ed's art journey wouldn't have been possible without some encouragement from his friends - British painter Damien Hirst and Joe Hage! These guys saw something special in Ed's artistic talent and urged him to take the leap. And we're so glad they did, because now we get to enjoy this amazing collection of paintings!
So, what's the plan for this art collection? Well, it's going on display at the HENI Gallery on Lexington Street, London, from July 11 to August 1. But here's the best part: Ed is donating 50 per cent of all proceeds from original sales and £300 from each print directly to his Ed Sheeran Foundation! That foundation supports music education in the UK and helps fund grassroots music projects, schools, and equipment - so all kids have access to music!
And while we're on the topic of Ed's personal life, it turns out that his wife Cherry Seaborn has been quietly building an impressive corporate career of her own! A screenshot of her LinkedIn page went viral online, revealing that she spent years working as a Manager at consultancy firm Deloitte. Who knew?!
It seems like Cherry was juggling a demanding corporate job while being married to one of the world's most famous musicians - all while pursuing further education and taking breaks to raise their two adorable daughters! Talk about superwoman status!
Ed and Cherry met back when they were teenagers at their high schools in Suffolk, reconnected in 2015 while both were living in New York City, tied the knot in 2018, and have been going strong ever since. They've welcomed two daughters: Lyra in 2020 and Jupiter in 2022.
So, there you have it - Ed Sheeran's surprising new career as an artist! Who knew the king of pop had such a talent for painting? Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting development, and don't forget to follow us at thescholarlynote.com for all the latest news and gossip!
