Always warm, almost cold, Sheeran has told the stories that have motivated the creation of some of the 18 songs, such as the death of his friend Jamal, for which he composed the already published ‘Eyes closed’, which takes him back to his time in West London at the age of 18. “I wasn’t ready to come back to life after Jamal died, like people did when the queen died. That helped me ”, he told those present.

After the songs from the new album -the performance has been based on the principle “four new, four hits”- the British superstar has been left alone on stage and has given way to some of the most recognized songs not only by his fans , but for the whole world, like ‘Shape of you’, ‘Perfect’ or ‘Bad Habits’, with which no one has remained silent.
