Ed Sheeran
Singer/songwriter, Ed Sheeran has tested positive for the ravaging Covid-19 virus and is self-isolating ahead of his scheduled appearance on Saturday Night Live.
The singer, whose fifth album titled = or Equals, is set to be released within days, had been due to take part in a week of live promo, including a turn as the musical guest on next Saturday’s (30 October) SNL.
In a statement shared on Instagram, Sheeran said that he hoped to take part in all his planned interviews and performances from home.
“Hey guys. Quick note to tell you that I’ve sadly tested positive for Covid, so I’m now self-isolating and following government guidelines,” wrote the “Shape of You” singer.
“It means that I’m now unable to plough ahead with any in person commitments for now, so I’ll be doing as many of my planned interviews/performances I can from my house. Apologies to anyone I’ve let down. Be safe everyone.”
However, despite Sheeran’s promise to still perform from home, reports suggest that Saturday Night Live are looking for an artist to replace him.
