“It was down to bad diet, drinking and then not seeing sunlight at all… and I wasn’t exercising. Exercise, I think, is a really f—ing important thing to keep people happy,” he said in a 2020 interview, per Entertainment Tonight. “I was touring and I would stay up and drink all night and then… the buses would park underneath the arenas and I’d sleep on the bus all day and then wake up and then come out do the show, drink, get back on the bus. I didn’t see sunlight for, like, maybe like four months.” Here’s a look at social media reacting to Sheeran’s NFL performance.
