LOS ANGELES, March 12 — Fans of Ellie Goulding brace yourselves. The singer announced recently that she will be taking a break from music. In an interview with UK’s The Sun earlier this week, Goulding apparently said that her plans to have a break stemmed from her recent split with ex-boyfriend Dougie Poynter.

The daily reported Goulding saying, “People think I’m invincible but these past few weeks have been tough. When you're in the public eye, it seems like you're able to deal with stuff better than anyone else, which is not remotely true. I'm not in a relationship anymore and that's been hard. Having a break will be a good thing for me and my head.”

The couple dated for two years but had already split up once in December. They rekindled their romance but it looks like both the musicians’ hectic schedules meant that the relationship suffered. Goulding however said that they are still close.

Let’s hope that things will work out well for this talented singer.
