Ed Sheeran will perform in front of 60,000 fans at Adelaide Oval on Tuesday night, exactly five years to the date he last performed in 2018.
The British pop icon donned a yellow hoodie when he landed in Adelaide and posed with fans who crowded for photos at the airport.
The 32-year-old visited Women’s and Children’s Hospital for a surprise show for patients and his family, using only his voice and guitar, The Advertiser reports.
He told reporters that being able to make someone laugh was a powerful gift.

“Who am I to say I shouldn’t use that every day,” he said.
“I talked to my wife about it, it’s like, if you have the ability to do that, it should be used because you get it for a reason.
“It’s not just to help me, to have a good time at these shows… I just hope it makes people happy.”
The beloved musician has already played shows in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney, where he wore a pride flag.
On Sunday, March 12, he will complete his tour of Australia in Perth.
