George Ezra has completely new life three years after suddenly vanishing from spotlight
George Ezra's life is now radically different from just a few years ago, even though his music remains hugely popular.
Ezra, 33, had a string of big hits including Budapest, Shotgun, and Paradise, releasing his first album in 2014, his second in 2018, and his third one June 2022.
The singer songwriter's last live gig would be in 2023 before he seemingly vanished from the public eye, leaving many fans wondering what happened to him.
Three years after he left the public eye, Ezra's music remains very popular, still being played on the radio and streamed widely.

Now, rather than continuing with his own material, Ezra has started to rent out his recording studio and is calling on other musicians to come and use the specially built facility, Metro reports.
A statement shared on the studio's website says: "Hello, my name is George Ezra, and I would like to introduce you to my personal recording studio, Hotel Quebec, a state-of-the-art recording facility in Hertford, just outside of London, that was designed and built for me - my musical projects, my writing and my recording."
It adds: "It gives me great pleasure to tell you that the studio is now available for you to book and for you to record in, whether it’s for a day, a week, a month.
"If you are looking for a uniquely beautiful and creatively safe environment to work in, please don’t hesitate to get in touch."
The message concludes: "On behalf of myself and the small but dedicated team here at Hotel Quebec, we hope you are well, and we look forward to hearing from you."
While he might be offering up the facility to other musicians, Ezra is still reportedly working on some new material on the down low, but still prefers to keep out of the spotlight, and there is 'no timeline for him releasing new music'.
While 'taking a break' from touring, Ezra is reportedly focussing his attention on his young family after becoming a dad in 2024, and he remains private about his personal life, including the identity of his partner.
Nonetheless, sources close to the musician have said that he is 'ecstatic' about becoming a parent and is also 'enjoying being hands-on'.
After appearing at Glastonbury, Ezra appeared on TV as a musical guest on The Late Late Show, Saturday Night Live, and of course Vic & Bob's Big Night Out.
He had his first UK number one in 2018 with Shotgun, and the album Staying at Tamara's also saw big success.
Ezra also had a period of health difficulties, including his having to cancel shows due to feeling 'incredibly unwell', and would go on to be diagnosed with acute vertigo.
Since then, a friend has shared that he wants to 'focus on what is really important in life'.
The last time that Ezra posted to his page was to commemorate the 10th anniversary of his first album, with the page sharing the message: "George’s debut album ‘Wanted On Voyage’ is 10 years old this week! Thank you for the memories."
