ED SHEERAN PLANS TO TAKE A LONG BREAK FROM MUSIC TO WORK IN A CHARITY SHOP

He has the ability to weaken the knees of many a music fan with his meaningful lyrics and impeccably skilled vocal skills.

But the talented Ed Sheeran is about to go one further, as it has been reported he is set to give up a large amount of his time to volunteer at a charity shop.

The kind-hearted Thinking Out Loud hitmaker is believed to be planning to use a long break, starting next month, from music to help out at the Sue Ryder shop in his home town of Framlingham, Suffolk.

The 24-year-old singer-songwright is also said to be working on turning an old police station into a youth club for local residents.

Manager of Sue Ryder Jacqui Bell told the Sunday Mirror newspaper: 'There's a good possibility he will volunteer here. We'd welcome him.
