Thousands of Ed Sheeran fans face an anxious wait to find out whether the singer will perform at upcoming gigs after he was knocked off his bike in London.
The singer is feared to have suffered a broken arm when he collided with a car in the capital, but hastaken to Instagram to reassure fans that he is okay.
Sheeran is due to fly to Asia this week ahead of a tour of the continent, but his injury could cause those gigs to be cancelled.
The 26-year-old is then down to play at Jo Hall in Osaka, Japan and Seoul's Olympic Park next week.
On Instagram today, Sheeran wrote: "I've had a bit of a bicycle accident and I'm currently waiting on some medical advice, which may affect some of my upcoming shows. Please stay tuned for further news. Ed x"
An accompanying picture shows his right hand, with which he usually plays his guitar, in a plaster cast and his other arm in a sling.
His friend, Kent "Smallzy" Small, tweeted: "Sources in LDN @edsheeran telling me he's been hit by a car while riding a bike. Sending healing vibes."
