  • Ed Sheeran sings 'Azizam' from the rooftops of old Delhi

Mumbai, April 16 (IANS) Kicking off his India tour at the start of the year, Ed Sheeran brought a slice of musical magic to Old Delhi by performing his latest track “Azizam” from a sunlit rooftop.

With the city’s vibrant skyline, winter afternoon vibes, and kites soaring in the background, Ed delivered a soulful live rendition using his iconic loop pedal setup—layering guitar, piano, and vocals with effortless charm.

The track is part of his upcoming album "Play", which also features an exciting collaboration with Indian music legend Arijit Singh.

“I loved learning Azizam on the loop pedal. My mind goes into full jigsaw puzzle mode trying to figure out which pieces fit where—it’s like mental acrobatics,” Ed shared.

His rooftop performance is more than just a song—it's a beautiful tribute to India, culture, and connection.

As the official music video of “Azizam” is set to be out on Thursday, Ed dropped some BTS photos and videos on his IG.

Sharing his dumpington from the making of the track, he wrote in the caption, "1.⁠ ⁠learning the Persian snap, then having a crowd surf at the end

2.⁠ ⁠⁠@ilya_music on facetime teaching me how to pronounce everything correctly for the Persian version of the song
