Ed Sheeran surprised fans in New Orleans this weekend by debuting a new song, “Azizam,” on the streets of the French Quarter with the Soul Rebels.
Arriving in a black SUV, he told the crowd, “We’re gonna do one song here…we’re filming a bit of content… and then we’re going to do a parade.”
As sometimes happens with a live performance, there were small technical difficulties Ed had to deal with…like the wind whipping a heart-shaped balloon in his face, but he managed to perform “Azizam” nonetheless.
Afterward, he led a parade down Decatur Street, singing “I Don’t Care” and “Don’t” while pulling his amp like luggage. Then he played “Azizam” again and finished up with “Shape of You.”
