JAKARTA - Long time no one has heard, singer Ed Sheeran reportedly donated £ 170,000 to Thomas Mills School in Framlingham, Suffolk on Tuesday, May 19. The money will be used to buy equipment needed for the school where Sheeran studied.

Quoted from NME, Wednesday, May 20, the equipment provided is something that can support the learning process, such as a MacBook laptop, a camera, and a photography darkroom. Art, music and technology are the focus of Yesterday's film actor renewal.

“The students and staff at this school are fortunate to have benefactors who appreciate and understand the value of art in education, its importance, and how they can change lives.

Not only his old school, Ed Sheeran also donated a number of other local schools as much as 20 thousand pounds. The Perfect singer also held a music study session during the lockdown which was carried out via video calls with school students. On this occasion, he wants to help school children with the music he has.

Named as Britain's richest musician by several media outlets, Sheeran used his wealth to do something laudable. He also refused to temporarily lay off workers at his bar, Bertie Blossoms in London. Sheeran chose to pay employees' salaries with his money during the COVID-19 pandemic.

After completing the Divide world tour, Ed Sheeran decided to take a break from the music industry. In this process he also didn't use social media until he was ready to release his music again.

"I promise I will come back with new music when the time is right and I will be given more opportunities to write something I want to write," he said via his Instagram account.
