Ed Sheeran stops Vicar Street concert to help fan who passed out in crowd

Ed Sheeran stopped his Vicar Street concert last night to help a fan who passed out in the crowd.

His fans came from all over the world to see the Bad Habits singer in Dublin - but unfortunately, one of them suffered in the standing pit yesterday.

The singer was performing his top hit ‘Shape of You’ and he was getting the crowd to clap along when he noticed a fan in a bit of bother.

He instantly stopped playing his guitar and told security to help them out.

He then made sure they were okay and said: “You good? You sure?” then gave them a thumbs up.

The audience cheered for Sheeran before he counting them back into singing along to his hit tune.

A fan said: "Oh Ed Sheeran was wonderful. Super cool lad, so normal. He just walked out and started the show without any fancy lights or introductions.

"He stopped his warm up show because a fan fainted in the crowd.

"Security did a great job to get to her and the show continued."

This weekend, Ed's Croke Park concerts will have a “spectacular” stage set-up like nothing ever seen in this country, the promoter claimed.

Peter Aiken was speaking before the Shape Of You hitmaker performs in the middle of 160,000 fans at the GAA venue on Saturday and Sunday night.

Mr Aiken said Sheeran’s Croke Park concerts will have “all the bells and whistles” as part of his Mathematics tour.

He said: “This is the first year of his three-year world tour.

“It’s great that we’re getting the first date and he’s in town at the moment and he’s getting ready for Whelan’s tonight.

“Then who knows what happens after that.”

Peter described Sheeran’s stage set-up as “spectacular”.

He added: “It’s like nothing I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen everything. It’s in the round and it’s all bells and whistles.

“It’s going to be so different from anything he’s ever done before.” Since he landed in Ireland, the superstar, 31, has already gone local.
