Ed Sheeran Releases '÷', Reveals Hitting Justin Bieber In The Face With A Golf Club

Following the super-successful releases + (or Plus) and x (or Multiply), UK artist-musician Ed Sheeran is back with a new album titled ÷ (or Divide), which is led by the current chart-toppers “Castle On The Hill” and “Shape Of You“, the latter of which Sheeran remixed alongside Stormzy (they also performed the track at this year’s BRIT Awards). The album’s release was preceded by a year-long hiatus, even from social media (Sheeran even went Kanye West-style and got rid of his cell phone during this break from music).

You can stream Ed Sheeran’s latest below via Apple Music and Spotify. In related news, Sheeran also recently chatted with the Guardian about an alcohol-fueled incident with a certain fellow Pop star:

We were in Japan. We’d been out to a dive bar. He just drank water and I got hammered. Then we went to a golf course, and he lay on the floor and put a golf ball in his mouth and told me to hit it out of his mouth. I was like, ‘F***, I need to aim this properly,’ and I swung. And you know in films when someone gets punched, and you hear that fake sound, like a slap? But in real life when someone gets punched, you hear that dull thud, a bit sickening? I heard a sound like the last one, and saw his security guard looking at me like… [horrified expression]. I’d cracked Justin Bieber right in the cheek with a golf club. That was one of those ‘What the f***?’ moments.
