Sheeran tour dates in doubt after injury

SINGER ED Sheeran has told fans an arm injury could affect some of his forthcoming tour dates after he was involved in a bicycle accident.

The Galway Girl singer posted a photograph of his arm in a cast on Instagram.

He told his nearly 16m followers: “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. Ed x.”

The news was first reported on social media by Australian radio host Smallzy.

He tweeted: “Hope what I’m hearing isn’t true.

“Sources in LDN @edsheeran telling me he’s been hit by a car while riding a bike.. Sending healing vibes.”

Sheeran, who was born in Yorkshire, is currently touring and his next tour date was scheduled to be a performance in Taipei on October 22.

Some reports said that the bicycle accident happened in London yesterday morning.

His last dates for 2017 are penned in for November 19 in Mumbai, India, and November 23 in Dubai.

He plays the guitar right-handed, so with his right arm in a plaster cast, he may struggle to perform.

Sheeran was born in Halifax, West Yorkshire, and raised in Hebden Bridge before moving south with his family.
