Ed Sheeran’s dad, John, made a quick appearance in the singer’s latest music video. The star recently released Azizam, which is Farsi for ‘my beloved’, and made sure to invite his dad to set to film the chaotic film, which sees him showing up as a wedding-guest at a fun-filled ceremony.

The video, which also stars comedian Omid Djalili as a chef, begins with the singer struggling to come up with ideas for his latest song before slipping on a rug and suddenly getting transported to an Iranian wedding. Standing at the gorgeous venue, Ed looked around in confusion before wedding guests danced towards him and had him surrounded.

He was standing in the kitchen for one part where he was fed Persian food. At one point, he was dancing with the guests, and the camera panned to Ed’s dad, John, joining in on the activities while dressed in a suede suit.

It comes as Ed surprised fans over the weekend when he appeared at a tiny pub to put on a special performance of his new release, Old Phone.

The star put on an impromptu gig at the Thomas Wolsey pub in Ipswich on Sunday, and in recognition of the hitmaker’s new release, the beloved pub has been unofficially renamed The Old Phone for two weeks, BBC News reported.

The Suffolk native serenaded a bustling crowd inside the local pub, and a clip of the performance was shared by Ed Sheeran HQ on X. The video was captioned: “Ed brought the Old Phone Pub home. Thank you Ipswich for singing along with us!”

Fans shared their emotional experiences. One exclaimed: “I cried along to this earlier.” Another said: “It’s not just a pub anymore – it’s a time machine with strings. Thank you for turning small places into big memories, Ed.”

A third expressed their appreciation for the communal singing: “Sounds like an amazing night with Ed! I always love those crowd sing-alongs too – they bring such great energy.”

Other comments included enthusiastic praises like: “It was so good”, “Love this”, and: “Love to see so many fans there.”

The musician announced on Friday (May 2) plans for three performances, including at Ipswich Town FC’s stadium, an arena close to his heart.

Later that same day day, Ed hinted at a visit to the town by sending out a message to fans through his mailing list, as reported by the Ipswich Star.

The message read: “From Ipswich, MA to Ipswich, UK… we’re bringing The Old Phone pub home this weekend.” Fans were encouraged to respond to the message with a beer emoji for a chance to get invited.
