**Chennai, India** – International superstar Ed Sheeran’s Mathematics tour made a memorable stop in Chennai, India, featuring a surprise collaboration with Oscar-winning composer A.R. Rahman. The duo performed a remixed version of Sheeran’s “Shape of You” and Rahman’s “Urvasi” to a wildly enthusiastic crowd. While the performance was largely lauded, a technical issue with Rahman’s microphone hampered audibility for much of the collaboration.
Despite the microphone malfunction, fans remained captivated by the unexpected pairing. Videos of the performance quickly went viral on social media, with many praising the iconic moment. Sheeran himself shared footage of the collaboration on Instagram, highlighting the audience’s excitement.
Prior to the concert, Sheeran visited A.R. Rahman’s KM Music Conservatory, where he sang “Perfect” with the students, further endearing himself to Indian fans. Photos and videos of Sheeran’s visit, including a humorous clip of him receiving a head massage, also circulated online.
While overwhelmingly positive, some online commentary noted the potential for improvement in the collaborative performance, suggesting more rehearsal time. The Chennai concert was part of Sheeran’s larger India tour, which concludes in Delhi-NCR on February 15th.
