Kicking off his European tour, Ed Sheeran encounters an undesirable mishap
In Madrid, Ed Sheeran commenced his European tour with an opening night performance marred by an on-stage accident. The incident occurred during his first concert at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano, a venue catering to 70,000 audience members.
During the performance on Friday evening, Sheeran, 34, was seen enthusiastically sprinting around the stage, egging on the crowd to clap before his next song. The singer's excitement, however, led to a misstep, causing him to stumble and almost fall, with his face grazing the floor.
Despite the mishap, Sheeran swiftly regained his composure and continued his performance, laughing off the accident and moving on to perform the hit song "Castle on the Hill." Videos of the incident circulated online, eliciting a supportive response from fans. Many took to social media, expressing sympathy and admiration for the singer, with comments such as "He had to be iconic from the start" and "LOL poor thing, he’s excited, leave him alone."
The sold-out concert, a successful start to Sheeran's tour, underscores his ability to handle unexpected moments with professionalism and humor. In addition to his European shows, the "Perfect" singer will perform a series of homecoming gigs in his hometown of Ipswich on July 11, 12, and 13.
