Ed Sheeran takes time out during his busy Australian tour to visit sick kids at Sydney Children’s Hospital Randwick – after serenading ill teens last week
Global superstar Ed Sheeran has taken some time out of his packed touring schedule in Australia to surprise sick kids at Sydney Children’s Hospital Randwick.
The Shape Of You hitmaker was spotted outside the Sydney hospital on Saturday before he brought his Mathematics tour to the city’s Accor Stadium that night.
Showing off his colourful tattoos, the British singer-songwriter donned a white T-shirt, green shorts and Nike trainers.
His crew – who were all wearing masks – were also with him as one carried his guitar before the impromptu performance.
The 32-year-old has made it a habit to give back to his young fans while touring Down Under, as he also surprised kids and teenagers at Queensland Children’s Hospital last weekend.

During the Queensland hospital visit, a teenage girl had all her dreams come true as she got to sing alongside the popstar.
Keasine Latu – who thankfully is now cancer free – was lucky enough to not only meet her idol and hear some of his biggest hits, but she shared a special moment with him as they performed a duet.
She told the Today Show on Channel 9 that she was ‘so nervous’ but it was the best experience of her life.
‘I was put on the spot, the cameraman told him I could sing and it was in front of everyone so I just started singing,’ she told the programme.
‘It was the best thing I experienced my entire life, meeting Ed Sheeran was amazing.’
A hospital staff member said Ed seemed to ‘really want to be there’ as he chatted with patients before and after the stripped-back performance.
‘He really sat down, got chatting to the kids, finding out where they were from, their stories, which was really lovely,’ they said.
His crew – who were all wearing masks – were also with him as one carried his guitar before the impromptu performance

‘I choked a bit. I was so stunned because he was right next to me, and he was singing and I was so nervous I forgot the lyrics,’ one onlooker said.
Ed has just finished three shows in Brisbane and will play two concerts in Sydney this weekend before heading to Melbourne and Adelaide.
He was pictured at the beach in Byron Bay on Sunday with his wife Cherry Seaborn, 30, and their two children, Lyra Antarctica, two, and Jupiter, nine months.
Ed and Cherry are childhood sweethearts, having grown up in the same town. They rekindled their romance in 2014 and wed in a small ceremony five years later.
