It was a high point in the singer's weekend before his big Las Vegas gig was called off due to safety issues. According to Fox5vegas.com, long queues formed outside the venue due to a lengthy delay and many concert-goers reportedly fell ill in the soaring temperatures. 

The gig was eventually cancelled and fans were sent home. The show was rescheduled and Ed apologised in a post on Instagram.

He wrote, "I can't believe I'm typing this, but there's been some challenges encountered during the load in of our Vegas show. It's impossible to go forward with the show. I'm so sorry. I know everyone has travelled in for this, and I wish I could change it."

Ed later added more detail about why the show was called off, writing: "A little bit more context on the cancellation yesterday. It was a safety issue, and we really tried to do the best we could to make the show happen, but I'm not gonna [sic] risk the safety of my fans for anything. I really am gutted; this was very much out of my control, but I do take full responsibility for everyone that was put out from the cancellation."
