Ed Sheeran has revealed how crazed fans have threatened to kidnap his young children - and even broken into his home.
The British singer, who shares daughters Lyra, four, and Jupiter, three, with wife Cherry Seaborn, told Australia's 60 Minutes on Sunday night that he employs extensive security measures due to the threats.
'It's things that people don't really even take into account,' Ed said of his frightening fan encounters.
'Like kidnap threats and s**t like that. We've had attempted break-ins, things left on my car.
'It's way more sinister than just fans turning up and wanting selfies.'
From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, .
Ed said that he has had to accept that his family will always need protection.
'We have a level of security that probably won't change until I pass away. That's just our life now,' the pop star lamented.
Ed went on to explain that he is fiercely protective of his daughters' privacy and does not allow fans to take photos of them - even facing off with those who try.
'I've had some real arguments before,' he said.
'I'm fine with taking pictures, but I just think it's weird with a four-year-old and a three-year-old.'
The Bad Habits hitmaker admitted that he wishes life was more 'normal' for his family but has accepted that fame has its downsides.
'To be within the public sphere, you have to take it all, the good and the bad,' he said.
'But I think I would definitely want a more normal life for my kids.'
Ed married his childhood sweetheart Cherry in 2019.
The pair, who grew up together in the same town in Suffolk, rekindled their romance in 2014 and tied the knot in a small ceremony five years later.
It comes after news that Ed is coming to Down Under next year.
The global superstar, who was last in Australia at the beginning of 2023 for his Mathematics Tour, announced that he will be playing a slew of shows across the country as part of his Loop Tour.
The A Team hitmaker is set to tick off New Zealand first, performing at stadiums across Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch, before making his way over the Tasman.
Ed will start the Australian leg of his tour in Perth at Optus Stadium on January 31, before heading to Sydney's Accor Stadium for two shows on February 13 and Valentine's Day.
Then, the 34-year-old will be heading to Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium for two shows on February 20 and 21, followed by two gigs at Melbourne's Marvel Stadium on February 26 and 27.
Ed will then finish up his tour in Adelaide at the ​Adelaide Oval on March 5, marking over a month of touring across the country.
The tour is set to bring a brand-new live show to Aussie fans, bringing music from his much-anticipated album Play.
