The British musician was filmed performing on a busy street in Bengaluru when a police officer approached him and unplugged his microphone.
ADVERTISEMENTBritish pop star Ed Sheeran was stopped from busking in the southern Indian city of Bengaluru after police told him he lacked permission to perform in the street. The musician was filmed singing his hit single Shape of You and playing the guitar in the centre of Bengaluru ahead of a concert in the city on Sunday night. Indian television channels showed a police officer walking up to Sheeran and unplugging his microphone mid-performance, drawing jeers from onlookers.Officials told Indian media that Sheeran had been refused permission to busk on Church Street — one of the city’s busiest streets. “I refused to give permission because Church Street gets very crowded. That is the reason he was asked to vacate the place,” Shekar T Tekkannanavar, police deputy commissioner for central Bengaluru, was quoted by ANI news agency as saying.Yet Sheeran, who started his career busking in the UK, insisted later in an Instagram story that he had been granted permission to perform on Church Street. “We had permission to busk, by the way. Hence, us playing in that exact spot was planned out beforehand. It wasn’t just us randomly turning up. All good though,” he wrote.Many fans expressed their disappointment on social media, with some taking aim at India’s notorious bureaucracy and overzealous policing. PC Mohan — a local lawmaker from the ruling BJP party — said on X that the impromptu gig “hit a sour note”. “Even global stars must follow local rules — no permit, no performance,” he wrote.Sheeran is in India on a 15-day tour for the second year running. The country is experiencing a rise in demand for live music, according to analysts, and Sheeran’s latest tour follows recent performances from Coldplay in various cities and Dua Lipa in Mumbai.
