Sheeran cancels concerts in 5 Asian cities, but not yet Bangkok
Here is the latest from Ed Sheeran's Instragram account:
A visit to my doctors confirmed fractures in my right wrist and left elbow that will leave me unable to perform live concerts for the immediate future. Sadly, this means that the following shows will not be able to go ahead as planned: Taipei, Osaka, Seoul, Tokyo and Hong Kong. I’m waiting to see how the healing progresses before we have to decide on shows beyond that. Please stay tuned for more details. PS - Ed isn’t typing this as he has both arms casted/bandaged.

Ed Sheeran Bangkok concert in doubt
Online reporters from agency reports
Next month's sold-out Bangkok concert by English singing sensation Ed Sheeran is on hold and could be cancelled after he suffered a broken arm in a bicycle-car collision.
"I've had a bit of a bicycle accident and I'm currently waiting on some medical advice, which may affect some of my upcoming shows," Sheeran told his 15.7 million followers on Instagram.
Concert agent Thai Ticket Major were still advertising the concert, which sold out in minutes when tickets went on sale on July 1. The agency's web page for the concert noted all tickets were gone. Seat and pit prices ranged from 1,800 baht to 5,500 baht for the scheduled gig at 8.30pm on Thursday, Nov 16, at Impact Arena, Muang Thong Thani, Nonthaburi.
There have been no updates to the musician's home page.
Sheeran is scheduled to kick off the Asian leg of his continuing world tour on Sunday night in Taipei.
He then is to perform in Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia before arriving in Bangkok.
Updates to that schedule are expected shortly.
Reports said Sheeran was knocked off his bike by a car and rushed to a hospital.
