Ed Sheeran will be undergoing a very painful surgery early in the New Year.
Once the 24-year-old English singer-songwriter completes his 179-date world "x Tour" in New Zealand this weekend, he will be taking a well-deserved break so he can have surgery on a damaged eardrum, according to Billboard. He suffered the injury earlier this year while on vacation with his friends in Spain.
"I have to have an operation in January on my ear because I stupidly jumped off a yacht really high up and smashed it," he told Australia's Nova radio, according to Entertainment Tonight. "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, it means I have to stay at home."
At the time, he had not realized just how badly he hurt himself until he went back in the water long after the initial injury. "It's the most painful thing having a hole in your eardrum and having water go in," he explained.
