Ed Sheeran pokes fun of himself as he shares video of himself tripping and falling to his knees on stage in Japan
Ed Sheeran opened the final leg of his massive +–=÷× Tour (pronounced Mathematics) in Japan on Saturday at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka.
As the Shape of You singer, 32, jumped up the stairs to the stage with his guitar in hand, he tripped and fell to his knees.
Ed – who showed off his tattoos in a series of shirtless photos earlier this month – quickly recovered, flashing the understage cameraman a smile as he began strumming his guitar for the crowd awaiting his performance.
The singer, who goes by the handle @TeddysPhotos on Instagram, shared the video on the social media platform and captioned it: ‘Styled it out.’
Calum Scott, 35, who is the opening act on Sheeran’s tour, did not see the fall from where he sat.

“I was sitting at the back of the stadium with the highest view and I didn’t see it like that, well done mate,” he wrote on social media.
Saturday was the first show of the current leg of the two-year Mathematics tour. He will play two nights in Osaka before a show at the Tokyo Dome on January 31.
He will remain in Asia through March, performing in Taiwan, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia and Mumbai.
Ed plans to fly home between each of his shows in Asia to be with his wife Cherry Seaborn and their two daughters: Lyra, three, and Jupiter, 21 months.
Calum told me Daily star: ‘He comes and goes home from Asia to see his children every week.
‘He is truly an artist driven by family and friends. However, that is unreal jet lag. I don’t know how he’ll cope, lots of melatonin!’
This summer he will cross the European continent with stops in Germany, Italy, Spain and Eastern Europe.
Meanwhile, Calum, who shot to fame on Britain’s Got Talent in 2015, said he has struck up a ‘bromance’ with hitmaker Thinking Out Loud.

In an interview last week, Calum said the pair plan to try new cuisines and play XBox together during their time on the road.
He told The sun‘s Bizarre column: ‘Ed came to me before the first show. We just sat and talked about normal things.
“We’ll have a lot more time on the tour and he’s a big foodie like me, so we’re going to try to eat out at some point,” he said.
Calum added: ‘I also brought my Xbox so we can shoot some bad guys in Call Of Duty.’
