Ed Sheeran is thinking out loud about his lack of social media activity.
After being relatively quiet on Instagram, the singer, 31, returned to the platform to have an honest conversation with his followers about his absence.
“Hey guys,” he began in the Jan. 31 post. “So I realize I haven’t been that engaged in my social media or my fanbase online over the past couple of years, and the things that have been posted on this account might have got a bit boring. I’m sorry. It’s my fault.”
As for why he’s been mostly silent on these channels, Sheeran suggested he’s been dealing with some things privately.
“The reason I’m making this video is, just being totally honest, I’ve had some turbulent things been happening in my personal life,” he continued. “So I just didn’t really feel like being online and pretending to be something I’m not when I wasn’t feeling like that. And I know that sounds weird, but hence I’m making this video to say things are looking up and I’m back online.”
