Ed Sheeran says he had permission to busk after police stopped his performance

Ed Sheeran insists he had permission to busk in India after police stopping his performance on the street in the country.

Social media videos taken of the Suffolk-based singer, 33, show him in Bengaluru, formerly Bangalore, playing his guitar and singing on Church Street when a police officer stops him and unplugs his mic.

 

In an Instagram story, Sheeran said: “We had permission to busk, btw (by the way). Hence, us playing in that exact spot was planned out before. It wasn’t just us randomly turning up. All good though. See you at the show tonight.”

His tour had stopped at the south-west Indian city, where he played two dates at its NICE grounds venue on Saturday and Sunday before moving to perform at Shillong in north-east India on Wednesday, and Gurugram near Delhi at the weekend.

A 22-year-old software engineer, who took the video of Sheeran, said he was “a bit disappointed when police stopped him”.
