**Bengaluru, India** – Global music superstar Ed Sheeran delighted and surprised Bengaluru residents with an impromptu performance on Church Street Sunday morning. The singer, in town for two sold-out concerts at NICE Grounds, began singing on the footpath, attracting a rapidly growing crowd. However, the gathering prompted intervention from Bengaluru Police, who, unaware of the performer’s identity, ordered him to stop due to lack of necessary permits. Video footage shows an officer unplugging Sheeran’s microphone mid-song.

Despite the brief interruption, the unexpected performance generated significant excitement among local music fans. Sheeran, a four-time Grammy Award winner, is currently on his India tour, which also includes shows in Pune, Shillong, and Delhi NCR. The Bengaluru concerts mark his debut live performances in the city, with an extra show added due to high demand.

Sheeran expressed his enthusiasm for performing in India, noting the country’s significant and growing fanbase. He is scheduled to perform again tonight at NICE Grounds.
