Sheeran captioned the video, “Riding around the streets of India missing high fives. Sapphire out June 5th, 8:30am ET / 1.30pm BST / 6pm IST.” Fans quickly reacted to his desi twist, with many joking that he should get an Aadhaar card (India’s ID proof) for his love of the country.

“Someone please give him Aadhaar card already,” wrote one fan. Another added, “Edwinder!! Let’s go!!!” The singer has been teasing his album for weeks, calling it a celebration of joy after a difficult phase in his life.

Earlier, Sheeran shared that “Sapphire” was inspired by his travels. He finished the album in Goa, India, calling it his most creative experience. The record mixes different cultures, reflecting his global tours.

Sheeran’s India trip included many viral moments. He rode scooters with singer Arijit Singh and performed on Bengaluru’s streets. His bond with local fans has made him a favorite in the country.

The singer also shared a fun moment with an auto driver named Rakesh. He played his upcoming song “Azizam” for him, and Rakesh danced while driving. Sheeran posted the clip with the caption, “I think he likes it. Let’s go.”

Fans loved Rakesh’s energy. “Rakesh got the moves!!!” one commented. Another joked, “Ed: ‘Show me how to move like the water.’ Rakesh: ‘Say less.’” The song “Azizam” has Persian influences and means “my dear.”

Sheeran’s Mathematics Tour recently ended in India, but he continues to share behind-the-scenes moments. His next stop is Qatar on April 30, 2025, before heading to Europe. The tour will conclude in Düsseldorf on September 7, 2025.

The singer’s love for India is clear in his music and interactions. From singing in Hindi to bonding with locals, Sheeran keeps winning hearts. Fans now wait for “Sapphire” and more surprises from the global star.
