Ed Sheeran showed that he has a heart of gold by performing for the patients and staff at Queensland Children’s Hospital in Brisbane on Monday.
A hospital staff member said Ed seemed to “really want to be there” as he chatted with patients before and after the performance.
“He really sat down, got into a conversation with the kids, finding out where they were from, their stories, which was really lovely,” they said.
I choked a bit. I was so gobsmacked because he was right next to me, and he was singing and I was so nervous I forgot the lyrics,” one viewer said.

Ed has just wrapped up three shows in Brisbane and will be playing two shows in Sydney over the weekend, before heading to Melbourne and Adelaide.
He was pictured on the Byron Bay beach on Sunday with his wife Cherry Seaborn, 30, and their two children, Lyra Antarctica, two, and Jupiter, nine months.
In November 2021, the Shape of You hitmaker revealed that having his daughter Lyra was a ‘blessing’ and a ‘miracle’ after struggling to conceive with his wife.

The musician talked about how the couple had booked medical appointments to check that everything was okay after “trying to have a child for a while”.
They ended up conceiving Lyra naturally while vacationing in Antarctica in 2019, which inspired her unique middle name.
“We had been trying for a while to have a child, and we started going to the doctors and finding out what was wrong. I thought it was a miracle, so I thought, we should have this in the name,” she said.
Ed and Cherry are childhood sweethearts, having grown up in the same town. They rekindled their romance in 2014 and tied the knot in a small ceremony five years later.
