A Ukrainian popstar who is currently defending his country from Russian forces has thanked Ed Sheeran for last night's Concert for Ukraine. Before Russia invaded his country, Taras Topolia was the frontman of pop-rock band Antytila, and had toured the world with his fellow band members.
Just last week, the band gained traction after they sent a message to Ed Sheeran from the frontline, asking to perform at the Concert for Ukraine, which took place last night (March 29). Although the band did not play at the two-hour benefit show, Taras has now recorded a video from the frontline, thanking Ed for performing at the concert.
Dressed in his uniform, Taras said: "I want to say thank you from all of the Ukranian people for helping us, for taking part in future concerts. It’s very important for Ukranians because, you know, me and my colleagues from band Antytila fighting with Ukrainian military, but our families, our wives and kids are not with us and they need help, like millions of Ukrainian people who escaped from the cities where there is war.
