Instantly, Yung turned around, beaming with a smile as he exchanged a high-five and hug with the English singer.

Yung shared photos of the tickets on his Instagram, along with live footage of the show.
Fans expressed their joy in the comments, with one suggesting they should collaborate on a song, while another proposed the idea of a YouTube concert. With both artists showcasing immense talent, who knows if their next encounter might lead to a musical collaboration!
Currently on tour ahead of his upcoming album “–,” Sheeran recently revealed he nearly gave up music after facing personal challenges. Reflecting on Instagram, he shared:
“Within the space of a month, my pregnant wife got told she had a tumour, with no route to treatment until after the birth. My best friend Jamal, a brother to me, died suddenly, and I found myself standing in court defending my integrity and career as a songwriter. I was spiralling through fear, depression and anxiety. I felt like I was drowning, head below the surface, looking up but not being able to break through for air.”
Speaking to Today, Sheeran elaborated on his struggle, stating:
“It wasn’t retiring, but it was retiring from giving a f***. … I wasn’t necessarily wanting to step away from music, but I was definitely wanting to step away from it being a professional hobby.”
It appears Sheeran channeled his pain into his upcoming album “–,” set to be released in May 2023
