Ed Sheeran has announced he is to take a break from work and social media \u201cuntil it\u2019s time to come back\u201d.<\/p>\n

The chart-topping singer said he would \u201ctake a breather to travel, write and read\u201d and would return with new music \u201cwhen the time is right\u201d.<\/p>\n

Sheeran said things had been \u201ca bit non-stop since 2007\u201d and that it was \u201ctime to go out and see more of the world\u201d.<\/p>\n

He promised to come back when he had \u201clived a little more to actually have something to write about\u201d.<\/p>\n

The profile picture on his Instagram page has been changed to a black-and-white image of BRB \u2013 for \u201cbe right back\u201d.<\/p>\n

Sheeran\u2019s statement followed another year of success that culminated with him being named UK artist of the decade by the Official Charts Company.<\/p>\n

Last week he released a video for his Ella Mai collaboration Put It All On Me, in which he is seen dancing in a kitchen with his wife Cherry Seaborn.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Sheeran\u2019s manager admitted his client\u2019s apparent ubiquity ran the risk of \u201coverkill\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very conscious of too much Ed Sheeran,\u201d Stuart Camp told BBC Introducing\u2019s Does My Suck? podcast.<\/p>\n

Sheeran, who turns 29 in February, previously took a hiatus from social media in 2015, saying he was \u201cseeing the world through a screen and not my eyes\u201d.<\/p>\n

He returned the following year, having used his break \u201cto travel the world and see everything I missed\u201d.<\/p>\n

It is not clear if Sheeran\u2019s online moratorium extends to the wibbles \u2013 an Instagram account set up last year to chronicle the exploits of his pet cats Calippo and Dorito.<\/p>\n

The singer\u2019s announcement came shortly after his setting up of a charitable music foundation to help young musicians in his home county of Suffolk.<\/p>\n
