Next month's sold-out Bangkok concert by English singing sensation Ed Sheeran is on hold and could be cancelled after he suffered a broken arm in a bicycle-car collision.
"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," Sheeran told his 15.7 million followers on Instagram.
Concert agent Thai Ticket Major were still advertising the concert, which sold out in minutes when tickets went on sale on July 1. The agency's web page for the concert noted all tickets were gone. Seat and pit prices ranged from 1,800 baht to 5,500 baht for the scheduled gig at 8.30pm on Thursday, Nov 16, at Impact Arena, Muang Thong Thani, Nonthaburi.
There have been no updates to the musician's home page.

Sheeran is scheduled to kick off the Asian leg of his continuing world tour on Sunday night in Taipei.
He then is to perform in Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia before arriving in Bangkok.
Updates to that scheduled are expected shortly.
Reports said Sheeran was knocked off his bike by a car and rushed to a hospital.
Sheeran's friend Smallzy had posted to Twitter: "Sources in LDN @edsheeran telling me he's been hit by a car while riding a bike. Sending healing vibes."
