British singer Ed Sheeran was stopped mid-performance by Bengaluru police while singing on Church Street. A viral video shows officers unplugging his microphone as Sheeran told fans, "We have permission, but the police are shutting it down." The incident sparked mixed reactions online. Some fans called it "embarrassing," while others defended the police, citing public safety concerns. Comparisons were made to the Pushpa 2 stampede incident. Sheeran is in India for his Mathematics Tour and will next perform in Shillong and Delhi NCR. The Bengaluru police have yet to comment.
