Ed Sheeran debuts buzz cut, calls it a ‘fresh start’

Ed Sheeran has shaved his head this week for what he calls a “fresh start,” revealing he may keep the look after decades of being known for his signature ginger hair.

Sheeran debuted the buzz cut in a recent Instagram post, writing: “Yes I’ve shaved my hair. I wanted to shave it to signify a fresh start. A lot of new beginnings in my life atm. I love it, thinking of keeping it this way.”

The Grammy-winning artist received an outpouring of positive feedback from fans, many calling the head shave a bold and refreshing move that everyone should try at least once.

Others shared their own experiences with shingles, helping raise awareness about the condition.

Fans also had some fun in the comments, jokingly dubbing him “EDminem” and playing on words with “Head Shearin’.”

Sheeran is set to tour in 2026, extending his Loop Tour to North America from June through November.
