On an Instagram post, Ed wrote: “Hello all! I’m thrilled to announce the next stage of my career and the commencement of my independent practice as an associate therapist.

“I provide virtual and in-person counseling for adults and teenagers in Los Feliz.”

Grizzly Bear consisted of four members, Ed, Daniel Rossen, 41, Chris Taylor, 42, and Christopher Bear, 41. 

Back in 2004, Ed released the album, Horn Of Plenty, as a solo project.

Christopher went from drumming on a few of the songs to drumming on all of the tracks.

Daniel and Chris later joined the duo for live performances. After the group discovered their chemistry, they solidified their artistry by officially coming together under one name, Grizzly Bear.

It’s been reported that Jay-Z and Beyonce attended their concert in New York City over a decade ago.

In 2020, Ed departed from the band after enrolling in school to become a therapist.

Discussing his departure earlier this month, Ed said: “I guess the decision came when I realised I didn’t like the lifestyle in the band, which wasn’t sustainable for me.

“I wasn’t feeling healthy anymore, and so I just decided to try something new.

“And never say never. There’s no official breakup or anything. I’m just doing this for now and who knows what’ll happen in the future.”
