Ed Sheeran poses for selfies with fans as he begins comeback after becoming a father with Kiss FM takeover for Bad Habits

Ed Sheeran’s long-awaited musical comeback is well underway as the singer was spotted embarking on his promo tour for new single Bad Habits. 

The 30-year-old singer-songwriter was snapped arriving at Kiss FM’s headquarters in London on Wednesday to start radio interviews ahead of his first single in four years being released on Friday. 

Ed was seen getting out of his cab with a black face mask on, where he was greeted by a crowd of fans hoping to catch a glimpse of him on his way in for interviews. 

Being the gent that he is, Ed made sure to stop and take selfies with those who had waited for him to arrive before he headed inside. 

Ed had arrived at the studio to record interviews, including an hour-long takeover he will be doing on Kiss Breakfast from 7.30am on Friday when his single drops. 

Fans have been eagerly awaiting new music from Ed, who went on hiatus prior to the birth of his daughter, Lyra Antarctica Seaborn Sheeran, with wife Cherry Seaborn in September 2020. 

Ed has been teasing his new single, Bad Habits, on social media as well as the accompanying music video which sees him turn into a vampire donning a bright pink suit. 

Sharing photos and videos from the shoot, Ed admitted: ‘My hair was blonde for 3 days for the shoot. I apologise to all my ginger people, it will never happen again #factor70sunscreengang.’

Ed had shared his nerves about finally having new music out earlier in the month, posting a photo of him grimacing at the camera as he told fans: ‘The moment you realise your first solo single in 4 years is coming out in a few weeks.’

Judging by the teasers, he’s been cooking up a banger during his time off.
