Ed Sheeran Brings Out The Fray's Isaac Slade After Tour Opener Chaos
By Imani Okafor
Ed Sheeran brought former The Fray frontman Isaac Slade on stage as a surprise opener after controversy left his tour without scheduled opening acts.

Singer-songwriter
Best known for Global chart-topping hits like 'Shape of You', 'Perfect', and 'Thinking Out Loud'
He started out as just a bloke with messy ginger hair, a loop pedal, and a battered acoustic guitar. Then Ed Sheeran went and conquered every stadium on earth. Let's be honest, nobody saw that coming when he was sleeping on Jamie Foxx's couch, but his knack for writing huge, unstoppable pop hooks turned him into one of the biggest record-sellers of our time.
From busking in train stations to smashing streaming records with 'Shape of You', he turned ordinary-guy charm into pure gold. Even after grinding through high-stakes courtroom battles over his song credits and taking breathers to raise his family, he still packs out 80,000-seat arenas like it's a walk in the park.
