Ed Sheeran went on a self imposed social media hiatus exactly one year ago today.

On December 13th, 2015, the singer posted on Instagram to explain the break to his fans…

Since then, he hasn’t Tweeted, posted on Instagram or updated his Facebook page.

However, this morning on December 13th, 2016, Sheeran broke his year-long hiatus when he sent out this cryptic post…

On Twitter, Instagram and Facebook, Ed shared a sky blue image with no explanation or hints of what it might mean.

He also updated all his profile pictures and cover photos with the same blue image.

Since the posts went out, fans have been speculating that it means new music is on the way.

It would make sense that it means new music is coming, wouldn’t it? He did say in his final post from 2015, that ‘the ‘3rd album is on its way’, but could it mean anything else?

So many questions, so few answers.

I guess time will tell.
