Ed Sheeran’s mum Imogen has been forced to close her jewellery shop during the coronavirus crisis.

According to The Sun, a message on her website informs visitors that she will begin trading again later in the year: ‘Due to COVID-19 our online shop is closed until later in the year. Thank you for your continued support.’

Imogen makes bracelets in the form of Liquorice Allsorts which are popular with the singer’s fans.

She recently became a music teacher to encourage primary school kids to get into singing as the director of the Suffolk Kodaly Community Interest Company.

Meanwhile her award-winning son is taking a step back from making music and being on social media after being ‘non stop’ for the last three years.

The Perfect singer wrote in an Instagram announcement: ‘Hello all. Gonna go on another break again.

‘The Divide era and tour changed my life in so many ways, but now it’s all over it’s time to go out and see some more of the world.

‘I’ve been a bit non stop since 2017 so I’m just gonna take a breather to travel, write and read. I’ll be off all social media until it’s time to come back.

‘To all my family and friends, see ya when I see ya – and to my fans, thank you for always being amazing, I promise to be back with some new music when the time is right and I’ve lived a little more to actually have something to write about.’

Metro.co.uk has contacted Ed’s reps for comment.
