Ed Sheeran reunited his highschool band, flew over the lead singer of Wheatus, and carried out one in all his favourite songs of all time, the enduring Y2K classic “Teenage Dirtbag, for his present Saturday in Hamburg, Germany.
“I’ve bought a cool shock for you, it’s actually fairly cool, however bear with me,” Sheeran prefaced to the group. The singer then talked about his highschool band and the way, after splitting up many years in the past, the group remained good buddies and even reunited this previous April to carry out at their good friend’s marriage ceremony.
“Once we had been taking part in, we performed a music we used to play once we had been 12. And I mentioned, ‘Fucking hell, isn’t this an excellent music. I wanna play this dwell [in concert],” Sheeran mentioned of the marriage gig.
Sheeran then welcomed his highschool band mate onstage to hitch him, earlier than revealing yet one more shock: To carry out the still-unmentioned music, Sheeran mentioned, “I’m gonna e-mail the lead singer and see if he’ll come and sing it. And he’s flown over particularly from New York only for this, and it’s gonna be fucking superior, I can’t wait. That is one in all my favourite songs of all time, I’d say high 10 favourite songs of all time.”
