Ed Sheeran has been injured in a cycling accident. The musician shared a picture on his Instagram account that showed his right arm in a cast, and suggested in the caption that the injury could alter his touring plans.
The singer is due to start the fifth leg of his tour in Taiwan on 22 October. In the post, he said he was “waiting on some medical advice” but that the injury may “affect some of my upcoming shows”.
Sheeran, who plays guitar on stage, has already visited Europe, the US and Latin America on the tour, which is in support of his third album ÷. Released in March, the record became the fastest selling album by a male artist in history. In the week of the album’s release, all the tracks on the record reached the Top 20 in the UK charts, leading the Official Charts Company to introduce new rules limiting an artist to three tracks in the Top 100. The ÷ tour is set to conclude in Atlanta, in November 2018.
