\n Sheeran, who grew up in Framlingham, has put an end to a nine-month campaign to get the singer to Ipswich in Queensland, Australia, after he popped up to sign a wall.\n<\/p>\n
\n Since Sheeran performed at Portman Road, and played at a pub in Ipswich in Massachusetts<\/a> in the USA and the Thomas Wolsey in St Peter’s Street<\/a>, the mayor of Ipswich, Teresa Harding, has been campaigning to get him to the city on the east coast near Brisbane<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n \n This includes a cardboart cut-out of Sheeran popping up in different places across the city, local breweries creating beers named after him such as Ed Beeran, and choirs practicing his songs.\n<\/p>\n \n It was a whistle-stop visit from Sheeran, who is currently down under for his Loop tour, with the star signing his name to a mural that had been painted to help entice him to the city.\n<\/p>\n \n On a video posted to Instagram, he said: “There’s a new mayor in town” before tagging the mayor.\n<\/p>\n \n It showed him signing the wall with the words ‘lots of love Ed’.\n<\/p>\n \n This was followed up by a video from the mayor, which said: “The moment I laid eyes on some of the most incredible street art in Ipswich today.\n<\/p>\n \n “I was absolutely buzzing with excitement. Thank you Ed Sheeran for coming to Ipswich. It’s been a great day co-mayoring with you today.”\n<\/p>\n
