Watch: Ed Sheeran serenades London jogger from canal boat
Ed Sheeran caught a Londoner guard this week by serenading them while they were out on a run along one of the capital’s canals.
A city local who just so happened to be on a run along the same waterway that Ed Sheeran was drifting along in a boat got a surprise sing-song from the megastar.
The moment, which was captured on camera, saw Sheeran guitar in hand aboard a small boat as a jogger ran parallel.
Spotting her the singer shouted: “Any requests” which unsurprisingly caused the runner to stop in her tracks to think of a song before she asked for the track ‘Tenerife Sea’ off his 2014 album X.
As Sheeran starts strumming away on his guitar, the runner whips out her phone to capture the unexpected moment.
After the sweet moment, Sheeran said farewell to the lucky jogger and wished them a good rest of their run before they began pounding the pavement along the canal once again.
Sharing the moment to his 48 million followers on Instagram, the clip has already amassed over 2.1 million likes with many having flocked to the comments as they wished they’d have been there to see it.
One user joked: “Makes me wanna go for a run. Never thought I’d say that!” while another added: “Live soundtracks for runs by Ed, love it”.
