(NewsNation) — What in the world is Ed Sheeran up to?

My sources say the flame haired pop singer recently performed in the Mountain kingdom of Bhutan — marking the first time a major international star performed in the country.

Sheeran was there on his Mathematics tour and a “small but dedicated” crowd showed up to see him perform in the country’s capital Thimpu, I’m told. 

Sheeran then popped up in India — he had a show scheduled in Bengaluru, but police were called when he tried to busk on the city’s street a day before schedule.

Police at the time claimed Sheeran didn’t have the requisite permits to perform in a congested area— a claim Sheeran denied later on social media. 

I’m also told these performances — impromptu and scheduled — could later be part of a film or video.
