Ed Sheeran has returned to social media exactly a year after he left the online world to work on his new album.

The singer has posted a blue image to his Facebook, Twitter and Instagram account with no explanation. 

Some fans have suggested this may be the colour of his next album. 

Last December Sheeran said he wanted to take a break from social media to "travel the world and see everything I missed." He added: "The third album is on its way and is the best thing I have made thus far."

Reports have claimed that his third album is now complete.

In November Sheeran made his return to the stage performing live at a gala dinner for East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices in London.
