Ed Sheeran is no stranger to performing in front of massive audiences, but at 23, he had the chance to cross a major milestone off his bucket list—playing in front of 100,000 people. As he poured his heart into his performance at the AFL Grand Final at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, something unexpected happened.
In the middle of his emotional set, the legendary Tom Jones appeared on stage, catching Ed off guard. The surprise left Sheeran grinning from ear to ear as he quickly stepped forward to embrace Sir Tom with a warm hug, clearly delighted by the moment.
Dressed in a checkered blue shirt over a black tee, paired with dark indigo jeans and high-top sneakers, Sheeran gave his all before smoothly transitioning into a rendition of Tom Jones’ “Kiss.”
The crowd was already buzzing, but when Jones himself took the stage, he owned it. His commanding vocals lit up the Melbourne Cricket Ground, reminding everyone why he’s a legend in the music world. Sheeran then left the stage for Tom to rock the show solo.
The viewers online gave two artists praise such as “Two great singers putting on a great show without all the special effects,voice enhancers and gimmicks” and “Two great artists and gentlemen with powerful voices who want to share their talents with the world.”
