Ed Sheeran Confirms Right Elbow and Left Wrist Broken in Bike Accident

There’s no denying that Ed Sheeran is a super talented musician, but playing guitar with a cast covering his arm may be an issue even for him.

The 26-year-old singer shared a concerning photo on Instagram featuring his right arm in a cast and a sling on his left on a Monday morning. The Sun reports Sheeran was riding his bike in London when he was hit by a car, although that remains unconfirmed at this time.

“I’ve had a bit of a bicycle accident and I’m currently waiting on some medical advice, which may affect some of my upcoming shows,” he captioned the post. “Please stay tuned for further news. Ed x”

He updated fans Tuesday evening, confirming he suffered not one, but two breaks.

“A visit to my doctors confirmed fractures in my right wrist and left elbow that will leave me unable to perform live concerts for the immediate future,” Sheeran dictated to a friend. “Sadly, this means that the following shows will not be able to go ahead as planned: Taipei, Osaka, Seoul, Tokyo and Hong Kong. I’m waiting to see how the healing progresses before we have to decide on shows beyond that. Please stay tuned for more details. PS – Ed isn’t typing this as he has both arms casted/bandaged.”
