Donald Trump stopped Ed Sheeran from releasing his album two months ago

Ed Sheeran The singer appeared on Zane Lowe's Apple Beats 1 radio show on Tuesday and said that he had originally planned to release ÷ back in November, but changed his mind because of the "s**t storm" caused by Trump's election as US president. In what he said is one of the only lengthy sit-down interviews he's planning to do in connection with the album, Sheeran explained that waiting until March 3 to drop the 12-song effort seems like way better timing.
