Ed Sheeran Postpones Vegas Show An Hour Before Showtime

Ed Sheeran postponed his concert in Las Vegas on Saturday night due to “technical issues” just hours before he was set to take the stage. “I can’t believe I’m typing this but there’s been some challenges encountered during the load in of our vegas show,” Sheeran wrote on Instagram. “It’s impossible to go forward with the show. I’m so sorry. I know everyone has travelled in for this and I wish I could change it. The gig will be postponed to Saturday October 28th and all purchased tickets will be valid for that date. I’m so, so sorry.” By the time he posted the message, fans had been lining up for hours outside Allegiant Stadium in sweltering 90-degree heat, with some requiring medical attention for heat-related issues. One person was transported to a local hospital. “We were just worried about safety and communication,” one fan told the Las Vegas Review-Journal. “Us having to be the ones who had to carry the people to medics, having to tell people it was canceled, it was unacceptable.”
