Ed Sheeran Contracts COVID             10/24 13:22

   

   (AP) -- British pop star Ed Sheeran said Sunday he has tested positive for 
COVID-19 and will do interviews and performances from his house while he 
self-isolates.

   Sheeran, 30, broke the news on social media days before his new studio album 
is due out.

   "Quick note to tell you that I've sadly tested positive for Covid, so I'm 
now self-isolating and following government guidelines," Sheeran wrote on 
Instagram. "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."

   Sheeran had just been announced as the musical guest on NBC's "Saturday 
Night Live" on Nov. 6.

   Representatives did not immediately say which performances he is canceling 
and which he will carry out from home.

   Sheeran's official website lists no performances before April. The four-time 
Grammy winner's new studio album is called "=," which is pronounced "Equals."
