Ed Sheeran's Bengaluru Street Show Stopped

British singer Ed Sheeran's impromptu street performance in Bengaluru, India was interrupted by police on Sunday, sparking outrage among fans who had gathered to watch him play, despite his claims of having obtained permission to perform.

Sheeran, who was set to perform a concert later that night as part of his "+-=÷x Tour", had taken to the streets to play and sing for fans, but was stopped by authorities citing concerns about crowds on the street. However, Sheeran took to Instagram to clarify that he had actually obtained permission and was told to leave the area merely because it was too crowded.

The incident occurred on Church Street in Bengaluru, where Sheeran had been busking with permission, but was interrupted by two men who attempted to cut off his mic. Sheeran shrugged it off, saying "All good though" and asked fans to see him at the scheduled show. Fans took to social media to express disappointment over the interruption, calling it a missed opportunity to witness an intimate performance by the global music icon.

The incident has highlighted the complexities of hosting impromptu performances in public spaces, and the need for clear communication between artists, authorities, and fans. Despite the interruption, Sheeran's scheduled concert at NICE Grounds is expected to go ahead as planned, and fans are eagerly looking forward to seeing him perform live.
