‘7. Been buying random vinyl at record stores, coming across some gems. Allan Taylor – the traveller I found in a record store in Williamsburg, and I love it. Cant find it anywhere online, so feels like a special vinyl in the collection

‘8. Restarting the loop tour in a week and a bit, cant wait to get back cracking on that, see you lovely people there.’

Ed’s LOOP world tour got off to a flying start, raking in a staggering £5million per show during its opening leg.

The singer, whose net worth is estimated at £370million, kicked off the tour in Auckland, New Zealand, in January. 

According to The Mirror, the chart-topper shifted a huge 754,050 tickets over seven weeks, wrapping the run with a final show in Adelaide, Australia, in March. 

Music analytics firm Pollstar reported that the Oceania leg alone pulled in an eye-watering £74.2million in box office revenue. 

The tour spanned 17 shows across eight stadiums, averaging an impressive £5.32million per night.  

Those figures do not include additional income from sponsorships and merchandise, while the average ticket price came in at £98.40. 

Ed is now taking a well-earned break before heading to Latin America, where the next leg kicks off in Santo Domingo on May 9.
