Ed Sheeran is hoping for some time off.

The singer's revealed his intentions to take a break from work once he's finished touring the world next year.

He explained to The Sun newspaper: "I haven't had any time off since before I signed my record deal and I want some! I'll do what I enjoy and it won't feel like work."

Enjoying huge success with debut album '+' and 2014 follow-up 'x', he's teased fans with the possibility of a Christmas tune but admits it isn't going to be ready for this year's festive season.

"[The Christmas song] won't be out this Christmas.

"I have 'Thinking Out Loud' as a single going into Christmas.

"If I saw an artist have a string of hits, an album that did well, a hit going into Christmas and then they did a Christmas single I'd think, 'Ooh, that's overkill'.

"If my song came out next year or the year after, when I haven't released anything for a while, it will be bigger."

Meanwhile he also told of how he thinks 'Thinking Out Loud' is going to be his final single from 'x', as he's hoping to mirror other popular artist's success.

"Three is a good number. I did six on the last album and it felt too much.

"You never go away and people get p**sed off. Bruno Mars did three. Taylor Swift did three. Adele did three.

"I'll probably end up with four singles so I have a song to go into the Brit Awards with next year."
