More Ed Sheeran Ed Sheeran

Security were forced to wrestle a punter offstage after he attempted to approach Ed Sheeran during his concert in Perth on Saturday night. 

As PerthNow reports, a man walked onto the Optus Stadium stage from behind which took Sheeran by surprise. 

The UK songwriter reportedly shook the man's hand and said "You've got to go now" before he was wrestled offstage by security guards.
