Ed Sheeran announced to New Yorkers that he would be picking up the tab as he embarked on an extensive bar-hopping adventure through the bustling streets of the Big Apple. This celebration was in honor of the recent launch of his latest album, “Autumn Variations,” which hit the music scene on Friday.
In a video shared on social media on the same day, the “Eyes Closed” singer outlined his ambitious plan to visit various bars at random and treat strangers to drinks over a span of six hours.
With an enthusiastic “Let’s go!” Sheeran kicked off his journey, as the video documented him engaging in conversations with fellow bar-goers, clinking glasses with newfound acquaintances, and even capturing a memorable photo with the staff at one of Stout NYC’s establishments.
As he humorously remarked in the clip, “We’re currently at the first bar, and I’ve already bought drinks for everyone here. However, our adventure is far from over; we’re just getting started.”
Sheeran then hopped onto the subway, making a pit stop for yet another drink, engaging in a game of beer pong with his fans, and sharing shots with fellow patrons at yet another bar.
Later on, he made his way to Off the Wagon in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of New York City, where he was met with spirited cheers from the crowd before generously offering more rounds of shots.
In the end, Sheeran declared, “Well, that’s a wrap for the night. We began at one place, but the vibe wasn’t quite right. The next spot? It didn’t quite hit the mark either. So, we hopped on the subway, and here we are. I must admit, I’m feeling rather inebriated at the moment. Very inebriated.”
