Diljit performed several tracks with Ed Sheeran at the latter’s India concert, including the hit Punjabi song “Lover”. In Diljit’s latest post, he shared pictures from their stage rehearsals, in addition to some images of the concert itself. He wrote in his caption, “@teddysphotos – Learnt so Much From such a Beautiful Soul.”
In another video shared by Diljit, the audience can be seen reacting with surprise at Diljit’s sudden appearance. In the video, a female fan says, “Humko to pata hi nahi tha ki Diljit aane wala hai, aisa lag raha tha ki chand utar ke aa gaya hai zameen pe! (We didn’t know Diljit is going to come. It felt like the moon has descended on Earth).”
Several other videos have been doing the rounds online. At the show, Ed Sheeran also sang in Punjabi with the “GOAT” hitmaker, and also performed on stage with Armaan Malik, with whom he earlier collaborated on the 2022 track “2Step”.
In an interview with Brut India, Ed Sheeran praised Diljit’s music. He said, “I have listened to a lot of Diljit Dosanjh. I think he is great. I love Armaan, obviously having worked with him. And I think King has made some really exciting stuff.” The singer also expressed his interest in collaborating with King.
Ed Sheeran, who is currently on his ‘+ – = / x’ tour, returned to India for the third time after his 2017 Divine Tour and a concert in 2015. He will be covering Asia and Europe in 2024. The singer was welcomed in Mumbai by Bollywood celebrities.
