When Justin Bieber visited India in May, his endless list of requirements included a convoy of 10 luxury sedans, a yoga casket containing aromatic essential oils, a dressing room draped with white curtains and a Jacuzzi backstage, among many other things. In stark contrast, Ed Sheeran, who is set to enthral his fans in India as part of his Divide Album Asia Tour this Sunday, has a modest set of demands. The singer only expects Nando’s Hot Peri-Peri Sauce and dry fruits in his dressing room.

A source close to the organisers tells mid-day, “Ed Sheeran’s backstage requirements are more like a mix of after-school refreshments. He simply wants bottles of Robinsons fruit squash, passion fruit juice, milk, beer, a six-pack of fizzy drinks, a jar of MÄÂnuka honey and a plate of assorted sliced fresh vegetable and fruits. He also wants a special peri peri sauce that is being sourced from Malaysia.”
The insider adds that the organisers are customising his backstage room keeping his interests in mind. “Since Ed is a cat and bicycle lover, the room will be done up in animal and automobile graffiti,” adds the source. Marking his second visit to India, the event will see Sheeran belting out hits like Shape Of You, Galway Girl, Photograph and Thinking Out Loud. “We can’t wait to deliver a stand-out experience to fans, making sure that India is recognised as being at par with the global entertainment destinations,” says Kunal Khambhati (Head, Live Events and IP, Bookmyshow). More than 10,000 fans are expected to attend the show.
