Ed Sheeran, Jimmy Fallon Surprise NYC Subway with Busking Performance

Ed Sheeran and Jimmy Fallon participated in a lively 'Subway Busking' segment on The Tonight Show, where they disguised themselves as an emo duo named 'Frat Poison' to perform an acoustic cover of Chappell Roan's 'Pink Pony Club' at the 50th Street subway station in New York City. The performance attracted a crowd of enthusiastic commuters who joined in singing before Sheeran revealed his identity and transitioned to his new single, 'Azizam.' The song, influenced by Sheeran's Persian heritage and produced by Illya Salmanzadeh, is the first release from his upcoming album titled 'Play.' Sheeran shared his excitement about exploring new cultural inspirations through music, which he described as a universal language. The subway performance follows a series of surprise gigs, including a recent pop-up show in New Orleans, and highlights Sheeran's dynamic promotional efforts ahead of his Coachella performance. Sheeran's new album marks a shift from his previous Mathematics series, as he embarks on a more playful and explorative musical journey.
