We’re in love with the shape of… Ed Sheeran’s new hairline?
The “Shivers” singer debuted a shocking shaved-head look via Instagram on Tuesday in a “Life Update Dumpington” post.
“Yes I’ve shaved my hair. I wanted to shave it to signify a fresh start,” Sheeran, 35, explained in the caption. “A lot of new beginnings in my life [at the moment].”
He added that he personally “love[s]” the ‘do and is “thinking of keeping it this way.”
Elsewhere in the post, Sheeran — who is best known for his messy ginger locks, often kept cut to a medium-length style — revealed that he’s had a case of the shingles “for the last month.”
“Wouldn’t recommend it, but on the mend now,” he reassured his followers, many whom praised him for the buzzcut in the comments section.
The four-time Grammy winner has been on hiatus during his ongoing Loop Tour, which kicked off in January and runs through December with dates around the globe.
“Can’t wait to get back cracking on that,” he said of returning to the stage. “See you lovely people there.”
This certainly isn’t the first time Sheeran has surprised fans with a new look, however.
Back in December, the “Thinking Out Loud” singer showed off an impressive 30-pound weight loss transformation on the cover of Men’s Health UK.
Sheeran posed shirtless and showed off his ripped abs for the publication, sharing that he embarked on the fitness journey for his family.
The musician — who shares daughters Lyra, 5, and Jupiter, 3, with wife Cherry Seaborn — credited a “consistent” workout routine and cutting back on alcohol for his fitness glow up.
“It all came in at the same time of wanting to be a responsible dad, wanting to feel and look good,” he explained.
At the time, Sheeran admitted he was “worried” about how his fans would react to his magazine cover.
“I’m the guy people relate to and I did think, ‘F–k, is it weird me being super in shape on a Men’s Health cover?’” he shared, adding that he decided to do it in the hopes of inspiring others to achieve their goals.
Sheeran previously revealed that he lost 50 pounds and quit smoking in 2019.
