Ed Sheeran wowed fans by singing for the first time in Punjabi. The Bad Habits singer was performing at Mumbai's Mahalaxmi Racecourse on Saturday (Mar 16) when he was joined by Punjabi star Diljit Dosanjh, 40, to perform the latter's hit song Lover.
Sheeran, 33, captioned a clip of the duet on his social media pages: “Got to bring out Diljit Dosanjh tonight in Mumbai and sing in Punjabi for the first time. I’ve had such an incredible time in India, more to come!”
Dosanjh – who became the first Punjabi artiste to perform at Coachella in 2023 – has also duetted with Australian pop star Sia.
Sheeran previously recorded an Italian version of his hit Perfect with tenor Andrea Bocelli. He also sang in Mandarin at his Singapore concert on Feb 16 with Singaporean singer-songwriter JJ Lin
Meanwhile, Sheeran has penned Perrie Edwards’ upcoming debut solo single, Forget About Us.
Sheeran has teamed up with the 30-year-old Little Mix star – who has dropped her last name – to work on her solo music and she has chosen one of his songs for her first release.
A source told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column that Sheeran was so confident about the track, he told Perrie: "This is your first single."
Perrie made some minor changes to the lyrics before recording the song and filming the video in Cape Town last month.
