In August, Sheeran revealed on Instagram that he started writing and recording the album in June 2017.

"It’s been a long, long process. I’ve been through love, loss, new life, grief, and everything in between during the whole period of writing it, and I feel like it’s really a coming of age record,” he stated.

“I’ve never been more proud of a body of work, or more excited/nervous for you all to hear it. The next song off of it is called Visiting Hours, which I finished for my friend Michael who sadly passed away this year,” Sheeran noted.

The "Shape of You" singer announced Sunday that he contracted the coronavirus and is currently quarantining while continuing to promote the album.
