Global pop sensation Ed Sheeran surprised Melbourne's Royal Children's Hospital with an impromptu performance on Wednesday afternoon. This heartwarming gesture comes just a week after Sheeran's three-day show at Marvel Stadium, showcasing his dedication to giving back to the community.
The hospital's CEO, Dr. Peter Steer, expressed his gratitude, stating, 'It's moments like these that remind us of the overwhelming support for the children and families we care for. Thank you to Ed and his team for making this experience so special.'
This isn't Sheeran's first visit to the hospital; he has performed there twice before, in 2023 and 2015. The 35-year-old artist has been making headlines in Melbourne this week, traveling from Sydney by train and paying his respects at the graveside of his late friend and mentor, Michael Gudinski, in St. Kilda.
