"I feel like your mental well-being is the most important thing," Sheeran replied.

"Being burnt out is like a really real thing. I hope I don't burn out." he further continued, "When I was doing arena tours, you're playing like four shows in a row, one show off. Four shows in a row, one show off."

 He also mentioned that eating his favorite comfort foods is also great for his mental health, as long as he maintains his exercise.

"If you're eating food that you really wanna eat, but then also exercising and looking the way that you kind of wanna look. I feel like that's a good, good balance," Sheeran said. 

"So I eat, I love fast food. I love curry. I love drinking nice wine. I love all the things that would be bad for you if you didn't exercise. But I feel like I'd go crazy if it was just no carbohydrates the whole time."
