Ed Sheeran shines at an intimate gig at Cannes Lions festival ahead of his headline slot at Glastonbury
THE Sun hosted the best party of the glitzy Cannes Lions festival, with international pop superstar ED SHEERAN performing live.
This column has supported Ed from the very beginning, which is why he agreed to perform at the intimate event for just 350 people at the News UK Chateau in the south of France.
He said: “I have a relationship with Dan and Bizarre that goes back to the very first single.
“They actually supported me before my first single when I came in to perform this (The A Team) in a Bizarre session. So thanks very much for having me for that.”
I introduced the king of the hits to the stage before his headline slot on Sunday to a crowd of almost 200,000 revellers at Glastonbury.
Guests at the very special Bizarre gig were also treated to sets from legendary DJ FATBOY SLIM and Virgin Radio’s star host EDITH BOWMAN.
It was most definitely a quality line-up.
Earlier in the week I joined Great British Bake Off champ and Sunday Times columnist CANDICE BROWN for a discussion about the importance of quality journalism in an age of fake news and rampant social media.
