The singer said that since becoming a father he has lost five stone and significantly reduced his alcohol intake, according to The Sun newspaper. He told the newspaper he has “become quite clean-living” since the birth of Lyra last year. He added: “But I think actually taking time off and not being on tour was the worst thing for my health because I would drink every single day. Ed Sheeran (Alberto Pezzali/PA) “I stopped three months before Lyra was born because I was determined I was going to be the person to drive my wife to the hospital. “I was 15-and-a-half stone at my peak and I think I’m 10-and-a-half now – I was big, it really showed. “I had a 36 waist – now I’m down to 28. “I always knew I was big, but I knew why I was big, too: I loved chicken wings, wine, beer, and I never exercised.” Last week, Sheeran revealed he had tested positive for Covid-19. The chart-topping singer-songwriter, 30, will release his new album, titled =, on Friday.
