Ed Sheeran celebrates new single Azizam with impromptu London gig and bus ride

Londoners got to see Ed Sheeran perform live in the city today (April 4) as he celebrated his new single Azizam.

The first single of his upcoming eighth studio album, to celebrate its release today, Sheeran was out and about in London.

Starting off with an impromptu lunchtime gig at outside King’s Cross station. Performing in front of a large pink heart with the single’s name written across, Sheeran was seen wearing a matching pink t-shirt.

As well as his new tune, he also performed some of his other hits including castle on the hill and Bad Habits.

The hitmaker went on to serenade Londoners from the top of a double decker bus passing through the Oxford Circus area.

Sheeran began celebrating his new single in the capital earlier this week when a massive pink heart appeared in Covent Garden which had the new song’s name written at its centre.

It’s not the first time the singer has surprised city locals with a performance.

Last year he caught a Londoner off guard by serenading them while they were out on a run along one of the capital’s canals.
