Ed Sheeran's music appears to have hit the wrong note with Indian authorities, who stopped the British singer from busking in the tech capital of Bengaluru. Videos circulating online show Sheeran, dressed in a white T-shirt and green shorts, playing guitar and singing his hit 2017 single 'Shape of You' on a sidewalk in the city of 13 million people ahead of his concert there on Sunday.
'That is the reason he was asked to vacate the place.' Sheeran, who spent the early years of his career in London playing in small venues and busking, confirmed he was busking in Bengaluru but said he had permission to perform. 'Us playing in that exact spot, was planned out before, it wasn’t just randomly turning up,' he wrote in an Instagram story Sunday. 'All good though.' Lawmakers in the city defended the police.
