Ed Sheeran breaks arm, throwing Asian tour into doubt
By Andy Malt | Published on Tuesday 17 October 2017
Ed Sheeran has broken his arm in a cycling accident, putting upcoming shows in Asia in doubt.
The musician posted a photograph of his arm in a cast to Instagram, saying: “I’ve had a bit of a bicycle accident and I’m currently waiting on some medical advice, which may affect some of my upcoming shows. Please stay tuned for further news”.
According to reports, Sheeran was hit by a car in London yesterday morning. He is due to begin Asian tour dates in Taipei this Sunday. His shows, of course, see him perform solo using an acoustic guitar and loop pedal. Which requires arms.
This continues a run of bad luck for Sheeran, who was accidentally stabbed in the face with a sword last year (either by himself or a member of the royal family, depending on who you believe). He also required a skin graft on his foot after stepping into a boiling geyser on his 25th birthday.
