Ed Sheeran has quit Twitter due to an incessant stream of negative comments about him and his music. The singer-songwriter, who just headlined the Sunday night at Glastonbury Festival, said he had decided to stop using his account after realizing that the tweets were "ruining his day".
While his feed, which has around 19.1 million followers, will remain open, he is only sharing pictures uploaded via Instagram.
"I've actually come off Twitter completely. I can't read it," he told The Sun. "I go on it and there's nothing but people saying mean things. Twitter's a platform for that. One comment ruins your day. But that's what I've come off it.
"The head-f*** for me has been trying to work out why people dislike me so much."
