Ed Sheeran cancels gig due to 'scheduling conflict'

Ed Sheeran has cancelled one of the gigs on his hotly-anticipated tour due to a 'scheduling conflict'.

Fans will be disappointed to learn that the Thinking Out Loud singer has called off one of his performances in Sunderland as part of his latest tour.

The homegrown pop icon is taking his tour to Wearside to play the Stadium of Light on June 2, 3 and 4, Chronicle Live reports.

However, the Brit winner will sadly have to call off his Thursday show due to a 'scheduling' issue.

Those who have tickets for June 2 will be offered tickets to shows on either Friday or Saturday, or can request a refund. Ticket holders were sent emails informing them of the cancellation.

The statement in the email reads: "We regrettably must inform you that due to a scheduling conflict, the show at Sunderland 's Stadium of Light on Thursday, June 2 is unable to take place. We're still very excited for the Friday and Saturday gigs."

Taking to Twitter, one devastated fan wrote: "Sorry I’m busy crying at my date being cancelled (Sunderland night 1) but fingers crossed they get replacement tickets sorted out, I do NOT wanna miss this."

Another wrote: "Not Ed Sheeran cancelling one of his Sunderland shows."

And a third added: "Gutted my Ed Sheeran date has been cancelled on the Thursday 2nd of June at Sunderland, Been offered the Friday but hotels are ridiculous enough on the Thursday. Ah well obviously wasn’t meant to be."
