Police stops Ed Sheeran: Chaos at street concert in Bangalore!

Bengaluru, Indien - A spontaneous street concert by pop star Ed Sheeran in Bangalore, India, ended abruptly when the police let him turn off the microphone. Despite several official appearances in India on Sunday (February 9), the British musician gave an unplanned concert that attracted numerous onlookers. As he performed his hit "Shape of You", a policeman suddenly cut the music and cut the cables, which led to a quick end to the performance. According to the authorities, Sheeran had no approval for this appearance and his spontaneous concert was a potential disorder, as the government of the state of Karnataka said. However, Ed Sheeran himself rejected these allegations and emphasized on Instagram that he had the necessary permission to appear in this place, which creates a contradictory situation, as krone.at reported.

"The singer ignored that you need approval for such events," said Interior Minister G. Parameshwara to justify the police intervention. He warned of the chaos that could cause an appearance of an artist known. During the concert, however, Sheeran said that he had the approval for the appearance and described the situation as frustrating. The incident caused viral reactions on social media. A fan commented in a video that it was "deeply embarrassed" that a star was not recognized by Sheerans caliber. Rolling Stone also reported that the singer had been able to play more than just one song, but the police were under.

Sheeran is currently on his “Mathematics” tour, which includes extra appointments in India, Qatar and Bahrain. The tour, which started in Dublin in April 2022, is coming to an end this year with the last appearance in Düsseldorf on September 7th. Many fans are looking forward to his new music that he was already in prospect.
