Ed Sheeran has posted a picture of his arm in a cast after a bicycle accident – putting some of his forthcoming Asia shows in doubt.

The 26-year-old wrote on Instagram: "Ive had a bit of a bicycle accident and I’m currently waiting on some medical advice, which may affect some of my upcoming shows. Please stay tuned for further news. Ed x."

The star is due to kick-off an Asia tour on Sunday at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center before Jo Hall in Osaka and Seoul’s Olympic Park next week.

Fifteen gigs were planned in total between now and 23 November, with the majority sold out.

It comes after his single Shape Of You went past the three million sales mark on Friday, according to BPI Music.
