Life Without a Phone
However, Sheeran himself is much more cautious about using electronics. He likes Pokémon, yet he does not run around manically with a Pokédex. Taking his phone away from him, in an episode of the show ‘Therapuss with Jake Shane’ aired June 2020, Sheeran said he has not used a phone since 2015. He said this was because when one is famous, one receives many messages and people contact them often. He now communicates through email and only opens it once a week so he can be more efficient with his time and still have a proper work-life balance.
