Ed Sheeran chomps down on octopus balls in chaotic night out in Japan

The Metro says Ed Sheeran is diving headfirst into the culture as he spends time in Japan on his latest tour.

The musician, 32, is in the middle of a string of live performances across Asia for his +–=÷× (Mathematics) tour, stunning fans with a lively performance in Osaka over the weekend.

But in his downtime, the star – who shares two children with wife Cherry Seaborn – is taking the time to explore everything Japan has to offer, including venturing out of his comfort zone with local delicacies.

Ed took to Instagram on Monday where he shared a video with his 46 million followers of him tucking into octopus balls, before getting mobbed on the street by fans.
