The performance, part of Jimmy Fallon's 'Subway Busking' segment, has sparked speculation on social media about Sheeran's potential new album.

With over 200 million records sold and seven studio albums, Sheeran continues to be a global sensation, captivating audiences worldwide.

Recently, Sheeran has been engaging in pop-up performances across various U.S. cities, including New Orleans and Boston, to promote his upcoming music.

In a surprising subway performance in New York, Ed Sheeran, disguised, sang Chappell Roan's 'Pink Pony Club,' delighting commuters.

Known for his impressive vocal talent, Sheeran's incognito performance went viral, showcasing his ability to connect with fans even in disguise.

This surprise gig aligns with Sheeran's history of unconventional performances, including a previous one at a burger van in Hertfordshire last August.

His new single 'Azizam,' set to be released on April 4, 2025, is part of an anticipated album likely titled 'Play,' hinted at through social media.

Later that evening on 'The Tonight Show,' Sheeran announced his upcoming album 'Play,' which is part of a planned series of ten albums.

The song 'Azizam' reflects Sheeran's Persian heritage and features traditional influences, inspired by his collaborator Ilya Salmanzadeh.

In the creative process for 'Azizam,' Sheeran sought a Persian phrase, leading to the inclusion of the word 'Azizam,' which means 'my dear'.

Sheeran describes his approach to the new album as playful and celebratory, aiming to explore different musical cultures.

Beyond his music, Sheeran is advocating for music education in the UK, having rallied over 600 artists to support a significant funding initiative.
