‘Solo party’: Ed Sheeran releases album while isolating for COVID – The Peninsula Qatar

LONDON - Music star Ed Sheeran released his fourth solo album, entitled "=" (equals), on Friday while isolating for COVID-19, saying he was going to celebrate with a "solo party".

The singer, known for chart-topping hits such as "Shape of You" and "Thinking Out Loud", had told fans earlier this week he had tested positive for the coronavirus, and had cancelled all in-person events to promote his new record.

"I’m obviously still in COVID isolation but please let me know what you think when it’s out. It’s the most proud (I've) ever been of a (piece) of work and I can’t wait for you all to hear it," he said on Instagram on Thursday evening.
