If you've been panicked by the recent talk of Ed Sheeran "quitting music" after his next album, you can relax -- the man himself has shut the rumours down.

On Sunday, MTV UK tweeted an article examining the gossip. They quoted a Daily Star piece that referenced an unnamed source, who was apparently was quoted as saying that Sheeran wants "a more normal life."

Luckily, Sheeran himself took to Twitter on Monday to put a fairly blunt stop to the rumours.

Phew.
