Pulling out of the Allegiant Stadium show, Sheeran wrote: “I can’t believe I’m typing this but there’s been some challenges encountered during the load in of our Vegas show.

He continued: “It’s impossible to go forward with the show. I’m so sorry. I know everyone has travelled in for this and I wish I could change it.

“The gig will be postponed to Saturday October 28th and all purchased tickets will be valid for that date. I’m so, so sorry x.”

Ed Sheeran has abruptly cancelled his Las Vegas concert, just hours before it was due to start.

Sheeran’s fans were not happy and took to Twitter to complain, with one person writing: “I can’t believe we travelled all the way to Vegas 10 hours to see #EdSheeran for him to cancel less than an hour before the show.

“My poor husband a disabled vet along with so many people standing waiting on 103 heat to be turned away!!! I can’t come back in OCT No Refund !!”

A second raged: “Wow WTF @edsheeran why would you cancel last minute with ur Vegas fans already in the venue or in line to enter! Such a disappointment.”

And a third added: “That’s not cool to cancel the concert 10 mins before the show. I wonder who’s gonna compensate our travel, accommodation and parking. Plus, what happens if I’m not in Vegas in October? Are you gonna give us tix for another venue…?”

It was later revealed that Sheeran spent time meeting fans who had queued to see him.
