Ed Sheeran announces new album =

After returning with "Bad Habits" in June and confirming that his new album title featured on the new Ipswich Town FC kit, Sheeran has announced =, which will follow 2019's No.6 Collaborations Project, and 2017's ÷.

The album announcement is teamed with new single "Visiting Hours", which he performed at Michael Gudinski's state funeral back in March. The track features backing vocals from Kylie Minogue and Jimmy Barnes.

My life changed greatly over the past few years – I got married, became a father, experienced loss, and I reflect on these topics over the course of the album.
