English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran, aka Edward Christopher Sheeran, live performance was abruptly halted by Bengaluru police on Sunday when he was performing on Church Street.
However, the singer argued that the performance was brief and they had already taken permission, but police did not allow him to continue, citing the permission was requested but not granted.
