Ed Sheeran has quit Twitter due to unbearable abuse from trolls. The singer, whose album ÷ (divide) launched a few months ago: “I’ve actually come off Twitter completely. I can’t read it. I go on it and there’s nothing but people saying mean things.”
He added: “One comment ruins your day. The headfuck for me has been trying to work out why people dislike me so much.”
The English singer-songwriter, guitarist and record producer pointedly accused Lady Gaga’s fans of being responsible for the abuse saying “They read an interview in which they assumed I was talking about her and they all f*cking hate. And it wasn’t anything to do with that at all.”
The 26-year-old star has 19 million followers on Twitter.
