Ed Sheeran took to a busy street in southern India this weekend to surprise fans with a live performance but police soon swooped and pulled the plug on the British singer, saying he hadn’t received permission.
The four-time Grammy winner was in between shows in the southern city of Bangalore when he decided to do some busking on the city’s Church Street.
