English singer-songwriter and musician, Ed Sheeran has officially announced his departure from Warner Music Group.

This comes after a 15-year partnership that produced some of the biggest pop hits of the last decade.

In a statement shared on the weekend, Sheeran said the decision was not due to conflict with the label, but rather a personal and professional desire for change. 

The singer explained that his life has evolved significantly since signing with Warner as a teenager and that he now wants “a shift and change” in how he approaches his career.
