Ed Sheeran Launches Eponymous Foundation Supporting Music Instruction For Children: ‘Music Education Has Shaped Who I Am’

Ed Sheeran announced the launch of an eponymous foundation supporting music education for children.

At press time no additional information was available about how the Foundation will distribute funds, though on the group’s website it promises to work with “communities, industry and government to make a change in how music is taught across the UK. The announcement came after Sheeran told Variety in December that following the release of two albums in 2023 — –( Subtract) and Autumn Variations — as well as touring the world for the past two years, he might eschew the typical break he takes after his album/tour cycle because he already has another LP on deck. He said the as-yet-untitled LP is done, with two music videos shot, and plans to shoot two more early this year, as he continues touring in India, China and the Middle East before returning for dates in Europe in the spring and summer.
