Ed Sheeran says he is "unable to perform live concerts for the immediate future" after breaking his arm in a cycling accident.

The star came off his bike, reportedly after being struck by a car.

Sheeran said on Instagram that a visit to his doctors confirmed fractures in his right wrist and left elbow.

Sheeran famously plays his concerts solo ‑ using just a guitar and a loop pedal to layer up songs like Thinking Out Loud, Sing and Shape of You.

Losing the use of his right arm would make such a set‑up impractical ‑ but, speaking to BBC News earlier this year, Sheeran said he would never consider playing with a backing band.

The concerts are in support of his multi million‑selling third album Divide, which was released earlier this year.
