Los Angeles, Sep 18
Grammy winner Ed Sheeran says he had "no balance" in his life, as he put his music over his personal happiness for years.
"I think in the first decade of my career I was intensely unhappy as I had no balance, I was just work, work, work. And yes, everything was hyper-successful, but it was hyper-successful because I had no personal life at all.
"Work was everything. I think finding that balance with getting married, having a family, living around my friends... Being able to spend time with my friends and family — that has now become 70 percent of my life, and work is like 30 percent. Before, it was 100 per cent and zero anything else," Sheeran told The Sun newspaper.
