Ed Sheeran Hasn't Had a Cell Phone Since 2015: ‘I Just Was Losing Real-Life Interaction'


Ed Sheeran revealed that he hasn’t had a cell phone since 2015 during the June 5 episode of talk show ‘Therapuss with Jake Shane.’ The “Shape of You” singer also explained when and why he got rid of his cell phone and why he now prefers email over texting.

The revelation came up after Sheeran offered to give host Jake Shane his email address in lieu of exchanging numbers. Sheeran shared that only recently did his team give him a phone for instances where it’s necessary, like at the Boston Celtics game he sat at courtside with singer Reneé Rapp for the NBA Eastern Conference Finals on Thursday, May 23. Sheeran concluded, ultimately, “I just was losing real-life interaction, so I got rid of [my phone], I got an iPad, I moved everything onto email, which I reply to once a week.” He added that his preferred method of communication now is just “a better way” to “limit your time” texting others all day.
