Ed Sheeran, AR Rahman serve delectable treat of Shape of You, Urvashi to Chennai

It was the night of Grammy holders taking to the stage in Chennai on Wednesday.
English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran and the music composer AR Rahman joined their forces and treated the capital city of Tamil Nadu.
The two performed a mash-up of Shape of You and Urvashi with the metronome of the former being played to the vocals of the latter with Rahman on the mic.
The English singer-songwriter strummed his guitar while Rahman rendered his vocals.
Ed Sheeran’s show in Chennai was opened by playback singer Jonita Gandhi, who is known for songs like Gilehriyaan, What Jhumka, Dil Ka Telephone.
Talking about her gig, Jonita had earlier said, “I’ve been a huge fan of Ed’s for quite a while! In fact, I’ve also covered some of his music in the past.
I absolutely love how versatile he is. He crosses over into different genres so seamlessly and in a way that feels so authentic, which is something I really admire”.
She further mentioned, “I was really disappointed to miss his last performance in Mumbai as I was performing elsewhere that day, but I’m so excited to see him perform live and even more stoked to share a stage with him in Chennai. Really looking forward to it”.
Several visuals from the gig surfaced online that showed Rahman joining Ed Sheeran on stage.
The duo not only interacted with fans but also belted out a remix of Ed’s Shape of You and Rahman’s Urvasi.
Hours after his performance, Ed took to Instagram and expressed his gratitude for receiving an “honour” to share the stage with Rahman.
“What an honour @arrahman,” he captioned the post.
The British musician kickstarted his + – = / x India tour with a mesmerising performance in Pune on January 30.
Ed will conclude his tour, organised by AEG Presents Asia and BookMyShow Live, on February 15 with a performance in Delhi-NCR. (Agencies)
