Ed Sheeran has released first statement after Indian police stopped him mid-concert.
On February 9, the Bad Habits hitmaker surprises his fans by holding a small street concert.
In the viral clip captured by a fan, Ed can be seen singing his famous track, Shape of You, before a policeman approached him and unplug his microphone.
