This isn’t the first time these two stars have shared a stage. In March, Diljit surprised audiences during Ed's Mumbai concert by joining him for a performance of Lover, marking Ed's debut singing in Punjabi. Their growing camaraderie reflects the increasing fusion between Western and Indian music, delighting fans across the globe.
In addition to this collaboration with Diljit, Ed Sheeran recently teamed up with Indian singer Arijit Singh in London, delivering a moving rendition of Perfect, further solidifying his connection with Indian audiences.
This unforgettable night in Birmingham showcased not only a remarkable partnership between two global music icons but also the power of music to bridge cultures and create lasting memories.
