International singer Ed Sheeran had to reschedule some of the dates of his Divide Asia Tour due to a recent bicycle injury. One of those affected is his Philippine concert which was set on Nov 7. The British singer-songwriter recently announced via Facebook that the Manila Divide concert is now moved to April 8, 2018.
“The Shape Of You” singer first had his Philippine concert in March 2015 for his album “Multiply.” With the release of his Divide album in March and announcements of his world tour, Sheerios in the Philippines couldn’t help but wonder if the singer would indeed include the Philippines as one of his destinations. In May, Ed announced via Facebook that would be seeing his Filipino fans towards the end of the year. It was then when he confirmed that he would be in the Philippines on Nov 7. He added eight more cities for his Asia tour namely Taipei, Osaka, Seoul, Hong Kong, Jakarta, Bangkok, and Mumbai. Ticket prices were announced in June and were on sale in the Philippines
Ed Sheeran Divide Tour Manila concert moved to April 2018
On Thursday, Ed Sheeran gave updates on his upcoming concerts via Facebook. In the video, the singer said that with physical therapy he will be able to do the Singapore show early November. “The Osaka, 2 Tokyo, and Manila shows will be rescheduled for April next year,” Sheeran said. He added that the shows for Taipei, Hong Kong and Jakarta will be scheduled for next year as well.
Ed Sheeran says he hasn’t canceled any show before so he found it difficult to do so. Ed was reportedly hit by a car while biking in London. He broke his wrist, elbow and rib which makes him physically incapable to play and perform.
In the video he said that it is in the utmost importance to get his arms healed so he could “play for the rest of his life.”He apologizes and asked fans to understand his situation.
