English pop sensation, Ed Sheeran, announced the end of his massive tour after more than three years on the road.
In an Instagram video posted on July 5, 2025, he said: “In 2025, Mathematics Tour comes to an end. Gonna be hitting most of the other places we haven’t been to yet, but the first dates to go up will be the rest of Europe, more to follow.” The four-time Grammy Award winner went on to add “See you next year. It was time to stop, but then we can press play…”
The “+ – ÷ = x Tour” began at Croke Park in Dublin and has since featured the Grammy Award-winning singer performing in numerous shows across Europe, North America, Asia, South America, and Oceania since 2022. His family—wife Cherry and daughters Lyra and Jupiter—have supported him from the start. Although they do not appear on stage, they accompany him on tour and are always backstage cheering on, likely his biggest fans of all time.
So far, the tour has had many transcendental moments, from his performance in Singapore on 16 February 2024, where he sang ”Twilight” in Mandarin alongside special guest, JJ Lin to Eminem coming on as a special guest in Detroit, also, to perform “Stan” and “Lose Yourself” with the British singer. In the Philippines, Ed Sheeran invited Miguel and Paolo Guico of Ben & Ben to perform “Maybe the Night“ with him.
RISE TO STARDOM
Before Ed Sheeran rose to fame in 2011, he was a young boy born in the early 1990s in West Yorkshire, England with a speech problem. In an interview with Love Music Hate Racism, the “Shape of You” crooner revealed that he was constantly bullied and faced several difficulties in school.
Despite this early setback, he found solace in music and sang often. Ed loved sports, particular football as he was a huge Ipswich Town fan, but his true passion was music. With time, he overcame his speech problem and imagined a music career. He moved to London in 2008 and played gigs in small venues, open mic nights, and online platforms. He released his first EPs in 2009, “Loose Change” and “You Need Me”, the latter was reposted by Record Executive Jamal Edwards.

He won Grammy Awards for Song of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance in 2015 for his hit single “Thinking Out Loud”
The 33-year-old has gone on to sell over 150 million records worldwide and has released three more blockbuster albums: ÷ (Divide) in 2017, featuring the multiple chart-breaking record “Shape of You”; = (Equals) in 2021, which had hit tracks like “Bad Habits” and “Shivers”; and – (Subtract) in 2023. The album was deeply personal, addressing grief and relationships.
