Ed Sheeran earned a whopping £66 million in profits on year away from music

Ed Sheeran reportedly earned over £66 million between 2019 and 2020, despite taking a break from music.

The ‘Castle on the Hill’ hitmaker recently returned to music with his new single ‘Afterglow’ following a year away from putting out new material, but it has now been revealed his bank account didn’t take a hit during his time away, as he still managed to rake in several million through his touring firm.

According to The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column, documents filed at Companies House show Nathan Cable Touring had a turnover of more than £70 million and profits of £37 million in the financial year ending March 31, 2020.

Whilst Ed Sheeran Ltd, which gets money from the writing, recording and production of his music, made a £29 million profit on turnover of £48.1 million.

That means in profits from the two companies, Ed raked in a whopping £66 million between April 2019 and March 2020.
