Ed Sheeran opened his own concert on June 24 after opening act Khalid was involved in a car accident. At the most recent stop on his + – = ÷ x (“Mathematics”) Tour on Saturday, the “Shape of You” singer performed his usual setlist — multiplied by two. The British singer-songwriter took the stage earlier than expected at the FedEx Field show in Maryland when his opening act Khalid wasn’t able to perform.
According to Sheeran, the “Young Dumb & Broke” singer, 25, was involved in a car accident. “He is recovering, and we wish him the best,” he explained in a fan-captured video of his unplanned opening set. “I really hope Khalid gets well soon and that he’ll be joining us in Boston,” the singer said.
