Pop star Ed Sheeran held a surprise concert at an Irish pub as part of St Patrick’s Day celebrations in Boston, accompanied by Irish folk band Beoga.
Ed Sheeran surprised fans at an Irish pub in Boston with a special performance on St. Patrick’s Day.
Sheeran shared a video Monday on Instagram performing “Galway Girl” at The Dubliner, a popular Irish pub in the city alongside Irish folk band Beoga.
Earlier on St. Patrick’s Day, the Grammy winner teased the pit stop on his Instagram story with a picture of Sheeran wearing a Boston Celtics basketball jersey that said, “Meet me in the pub tonight.” The post was set to “Galway Girl,” the Irish-themed love song from his 2017 album “Divide,” stylized as “÷”
Sheeran appears to be on a bar tour in anticipation for the release of his upcoming single, “Azizam.” He released a preview snippet of the forthcoming song on his YouTube channel Wednesday.
On Saturday evening, Sheeran was on Nashville’s Lower Broadway at Music City’s Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge.
If you were in downtown Nashville, Tennessee, on the corner of Broadway and John Lewis Way, you too could have witnessed the “Shape Of You” and “Thinking Out Loud” vocalist, clad in a bachelorette’s pink cowboy hat, performing impromptu on top of the first level’s bar.
Tootsie’s posted via social media, “If you’re not at Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge right now… you should be! Ed Sheeran casually singing on the bar.”
Ed Sheeran cut off by police in India for busking
Last month, while performing to a small crowd in India, Sheeran was cut off by police who said he didn’t have permission to be out playing on the street.
Wearing a T-shirt and shorts, strapped with an acoustic guitar, Sheeran was seen in videos circulating on social media playing to a crowd along Church Street in Bengaluru, India’s tech capital. While in the middle of his hit song “Shape of You,” a police officer unplugs Sheeran’s microphone, resulting in shocked reactions from those nearby and a shrug from Sheeran.
Sheeran reportedly shared to his Instagram story that he did have permission to perform along Church Street, according to Reuters. Sheeran’s team did not immediately respond when contacted by USA TODAY.
