SYDNEY, Dec. 11 (UPI) — It looks like Ed Sheeran can add “no more jumping off yachts” to his New Year’s resolution list.
The 24 year-old musician will have to undergo eardrum surgery in January after jumping off a boat while on vacation in Spain earlier this year.
“I stupidly jumped off a yacht really high up and smashed it,” Sheeran explained to Australia’s Nova radio.
“I landed wrong, and it burst my eardrum so I have to go and get a graft, which means I’m not allowed to fly for a while, so it’s kind of good [because] it means I have to stay at home,” he added.
The “Thinking Out Loud” singer mentioned that he didn’t realize the extent of his injury until he got back in the water a little while later.
“It’s the most painful thing having a hole in your eardrum and having water go in,” Sheeran said.
Entertainment Tonight reported that the surgery and recuperation process will mean that Sheeran will have to take a break from performing.
Lucky for him, Sheeran will be finishing up his 179-date x Tour this weekend with his final performance on Dec.12 in Auckland, New Zealand.
But the awarding-winning artist is not letting the last leg of his tour conclude without a bang.
Billboard reported that Sheeran’s recent performance in Sydney, Australia featured a duet with music legend Elton John.
