tweeted a picture from Sheeran’s surprise hospital appearance and it’s pretty bloody wholesome. Dr Levi posted a second thanking Ed Sheeran for giving him a couple of quiet minutes during his pop-up performance. “Thanks Ed Sheeran for the quietest few minutes of our day. No pages. No calls. No referrals,” said Dr Levi. The concert drew a huge crowd of patients and staff at the Melbourne RCH, and whilst Dr Levi wasn’t sure what songs Ed played at his impromptu performance, he said “it was about four or five good ones.” As per and , Dr Levi was pretty stoked to have the international pop star drop by for a performance. “Pop up shows like that bring a lot of smiles and joy to everybody in the building,” he said. “When you’ve got a musical talent like that, and bring it into a stressful context like a hospital, it changes the tone of the whole place. Lots of patients got to see him. And you should see the smiles on the staff members’ faces … it brings a spring to our step for our afternoon work,” said Dr Levi. “It was perfect timing as well, between clinic and operating times, so lots of people were filling the hallways …. about four or five floors of people watching from above.” Ed Sheeran is currently in Melbourne for the Aus and New Zealand leg of his  Tour. It’s set to smash the Australian record for most tickets sold to a single gig, with 107,000 people expected to show up to see him perform live this coming Friday. If you want to get your greasy little hands on some tix to see Ed Sheeran, there are still some available for his performance at the MCG Thursday night. Get in quick though. With 100,000 tickets already snapped up for Thursday’s show, it won’t be long til the remainder of the tickets sell out, especially after this extra wholesome RCH performance.
