Ed Sheeran rushed to hospital after being hit by car

Since the time Ed Sheeran's Mumbai concert was announced, the fans have been eagerly waiting to groove to the tunes of the Grammy-nominated singer.

But an unexpected injury has made his fans a little worried about musician's scheduled November 19 gig in Mumbai.

The singer was recently knocked down by a car in London, according to a post shared by him on Instagram.

He informed his fans by posting a photo that shows his right arm wrapped in a white plaster cast, and his left arm strapped up in a navy shoulder bandage.

According to Mirror, the 'Shape of You' hit-maker was riding his bike when he was struck down leading to a broken right arm.

In the post, he said he was "waiting on some medical advice" but that the injury may "affect some of my upcoming shows".

He's not the only major star who has been forced to cancel dates due to illness or injury recently; Marilyn Manson, Little Mix, Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga and Aerosmith have all had to reschedule for various reasons.

Sheeran, who plays guitar on stage, has already visited Europe, the US and Latin America on the tour, which is in support of his third album '÷'.

His last dates for 2017 are scheduled in for November 19 in Mumbai, India, and November 23 in Dubai.
