At his Amsterdam show, Ed Sheeran created a moment that went far beyond music ! Spotting a fan with a sign that read, “I’m deaf, but I feel your music”, he invited them on stage. Then, in front of a silent arena, Ed began to perform “Perfect” while signing the lyrics in basic sign language. The fan stood beside him with tears in their eyes as thousands softly sang along, transforming the concert into something unforgettable. When the song ended, Ed hugged the fan and told the crowd: “Music isn’t just what we hear, it’s what we feel. And tonight, we all felt it together”.
It was a moment of pure connection that reminded everyone why music is universal — a language of its own.
