Ed Sheeran has made a major change to his professional life.
In an email update to fans, Ed announces that he left his record label a month ago. He's been with the same label for 15 years, but as he says, "This isn't a 'disgruntled artist leaves record label' type situation."
Both Warner and Ed Howard, who signed Sheeran to the label in 2011, issued statements supporting Ed's decision to Music Week.
According to Music Week, Ed's career on Warner Music has resulted in 170 million albums sold worldwide, 126 billion global streams, 38 billion YouTube views and 14 tracks in Spotify's Billions Club.
