The singer-songwriter treated passers-by to a six-song acoustic set, including a performance of his new single ‘Azizam’. He also dusted off ‘Castle On The Hill’, ‘Shivers’, ‘Perfect’, ‘Shape Of You’ and ‘Bad Habits’, according to Setlist.FM.

Per a press release, Sheeran celebrated his return by treating a group of fans to a gig on the top of a pink double-decker bus across central London ahead of his appearance outside King’s Cross.

The performances are said to have captured “the spirit” of the artist’s upcoming new album ‘Play’, which is “all about fun, connection and bringing people together”.

“After a whirlwind of stadium shows around the world, where personal fan interactions can be rare, this event gave Ed a chance to connect on a more intimate level with his supporters,” a description read.

“It’s a connection he plans to continue throughout the ‘Play’ campaign.”

Fans have since been sharing footage of the impromptu King’s Cross performance on social media, with one writing: “Walk out of King’s Cross and get a 40min gig of Ed Sheeran. World works in mysterious ways.”

Another said: “Friday lunchtime and Ed Sheeran is playing outside King’s Cross!”

Someone else shared: “Just a casual morning on a bus with @edsheeran followed by a free gig. WILD.”
