Ed Sheeran resets Manila concert after bike injury



Award-winning English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran has reset his upcoming shows in Japan and the Philippines to April 2018 following a bike injury last October 16.

The full statement from AEG Presents Asia, organizer of Sheeran's shows:

"Ed Sheeran will start his Asia tour on 11 Nov. 2017 in Singapore. The tour dates in Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Mubai and Dubai will go ahead as scheduled.


"Osaka, Tokyo and Manila tour dates will be rescheduled to April 2018 (full dates and schedules below). All tickets for the original show will remain valid for the new dates.

"Despite best efforts, due to scheduling conflicts and limited venue availability in April 2018, Ed Sheeran has been forced to cancel his tour dates in Taipei, Seoul, Hong Kong and Jakarta.


"Ed commented: 'A follow-up visit to my doctors today confirmed that I will be good to go from the Singapore shows onwards.

"Osaka, Tokyo and Manila will be rescheduled for April 2018. My dates in Taipei, Seoul, Hong Kong and Jakarta will sadly need to be cancelled as it's just been impossible to reschedule these for next year.


"I'm really gutted that not all the postponed dates could be rescheduled and I am working hard with my team to try and come back to these places as soon as I can to see all of you. I'm sorry to everyone who has been affected by this.'

The rescheduled shows are Manila, Nov. 7, Mall of Asia grounds, rescheduled to April 8, 2018; Osaka, Oct, 25, Osaka-jo Hall, rescheduled to April 11, 2018; Tokyo, Oct. 31, Nippon Budokan, rescheduled to April 13, 2018; and Tokyo, Nov. 1, Nippon Budokan, rescheduled to April 14, 2018.


On Oct. 16, Sheeran posted on Instagram that he suffered a bike injury. His post read: "I've had a bit of a bicycle accident and I’m currently waiting on some medical advice, which may affect some of my upcoming shows. Please stay tuned for further news. Ed x."
