Watch: Ed Sheeran rudely interrupted by Indian police during live performance
British singer Ed Sheeran was busted by Indian police as he tries to surprise fans with a live performance in Bangalore.
According to Police, Ed Sheeran had not received permission for the live performance on City’s Church Street.
The four-time Grammy winner was in between shows in the southern city of Bangalore.
Sheeran was interrupted by a police officer, who yanked out his guitar and microphone cables, when he was performing iconic “Shape of You.”
Local police said they had previously denied Sheeran permission to busk in the area, and that a citizen had called a helpline to report the infringement once he had started playing.
“We rejected it because Church Street is a very busy area and we try to keep the people moving there,” Shekhar H. Tekkannavar, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Bengaluru Central division, told CNN on Monday.
But Sheeran claimed the street gig had been given the all-clear.
“We had permission to busk,” Sheeran said on Instagram shortly after the incident on Sunday. (The street performance) was planned out before, it wasn’t just us randomly turning up.”
