Ed Sheeran denies he’s quit Twitter

Ed Sheeran has denied he’s quit Twitter, reports this week suggested the singer had left the social media platform after becoming fed up with the abuse he experienced on the platform.

However Ed’s denied the rumours, posting on Instagram ‘loads of hoo-har about me quitting stuff. I haven’t quit anything, I’m just not reading anything, except Harry Potter’.

We’re glad you haven’t gone away Ed!

Lady Gaga rushed to Ed’s defence when she thought the singer had been subject to trolls. Posting a selfie of the pair together with the caption ‘What an incredible talented artist I LOVE ED, Ed deserves all our love and respect like all humans do. I wish all people on the internet would be positive and loving and a part of creating an online community that is kind and empowering, not hateful and mean. No reason to tear down an artist simply because they are on top.’

The post comes after a number of Gaga’s fans trolled Ed, after they assumed he was throwing shade at the singer in an interview he gave earlier this year. In the interview, Ed said “I do not want to do the Super Bowl years later, after my biggest success, just to prove I’m still relevant."
