Minority shareholder of Ipswich Town, Ed Sheeran witnessed the rout of the promoted side in the Premier League during the visit of Manchester City (0-6) on Sunday. The British singer lets his team down in the middle of a fight to stay on.
A kid from the East of England, Ed Sheeran contributed in his own way to the crazy adventure of Ipswich Town, his county club, which went from League One to the Premier League one year one! The pop superstar has not only been a jersey sponsor of the Tractor Boys since 2021 but also a minority shareholder. The club symbolically gave him the number 17 (he was born on February 17). The 33-year-old singer regularly attends his team's matches at Portman Road and the TV realization lingered on his – disappointed – face during Manchester City's 6-0 victory at Ipswich on Sunday afternoon. Before the game, he warmly greeted Jack Grealish in the parking lot.
After this 12th defeat in 22 championship days against Pep Guardiola's team, the modestly promoted team is still 18th and first non-relegation in the PL rankings. Ipswich Town are tied on points with Wolverhampton, 17th, but are only two points ahead of the penultimate, Leicester, and especially against Liverpool, the big leader of the championship, next Saturday. Ed Sheeran will not be able to travel to Anfield to support Kieran McKenna's players. And for good reason, he is hitting the road again.
Ed Sheeran will return to maintain…
Ed Sheeran launches his 2025 tour in Bhutan next Friday (in the capital Thimphu), before touring India with 7 concerts, then settling in Hangzhou (west of Shanghai) for six XXL shows in an 80,000-seat stadium. He will then continue with the Middle East (Abu Dhabi, Doha and Bahrain) before returning to Europe for two performances at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano in Madrid, at the end of May, and two others in Marseille, on June 6 and 7 (the first date in Velodrome is sold out).
It's probably no coincidence: the interpreter of Shape of You has not scheduled anything from May 2 to 30 and will thus be able to attend his club's last three matches in the Premier League: against Brentford on May 10, at Leicester on the 18th and against West Ham for the last day on the 25th. Hoping to celebrate remaining in the elite. In addition to Marseille, Ed Sheeran will play twice at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy in Lille, before performing in other major football venues in the Old Continent, concluding in Düsseldorf with three concerts.
