Ed Sheeran FoundationEd Sheeran stunned pupils when he made a surprise appearance during a school concert in Cardiff.
The pop superstar performed for a crowd of 2,000 in the main hall at Fitzalan High School, before moving to a community centre in Splott.
“It got me shaking,” said 17-year-old Year 12 pupil Kia, adding: “I had goose bumps.”
The group had been listening to an Only Boys Aloud performance celebrating the school’s excellent performance report when unexpectedly Sheeran took to the stage.
His appearance was part of the launch of the new Ed Sheeran Foundation, which advocates for the teaching of music in schools across the UK.

“It was so amazing,” Kia said.
“We didn’t know he was coming… everyone was just so shocked.”
