Then three songs later Sheeran stopped in the middle of singing Photograph, saying "I'm so sorry Cardiff" before running off to the toilet again.
The 60,000 Principality Stadium crowd cheered when he returned to the stage.
The 27-year-old then continued singing where he left off.
Sheeran drank many bottles of water early on in the hit-filled set.
On returning following his first trip to the toilet he told the crowd: "I've been gigging since I was 14 and I've never done that.
"And now I do it in front of 60,000 people"

Έπαινοι του Sting για την Ελλάδα
και τους Έλληνες
Sting: Ευχαριστώ τον Θεό για την Ελλάδα, επειδή μας δείξατε τον δρόμο. Έχετε δείξει πώς να αντιμετωπίζετε τους πρόσφυγες όταν άλλοι άνθρωποι κατασκεύαζαν τείχη.
Ο διάσημος καλλιτέχνης σκούπισε τη σκηνή στο Ηρώδειο, μετά τη δυνατή βροχή.
Ο Sting βρίσκεται μαζί με τον Shaggy για προγραμματισμένες εμφανίσεις στην Αθήνα, στη μέση της περιοδείας τους με τίτλο «44/876».
Ο Sting, ο οποίος από τα μέσα της δεκαετίας του ’80 είναι υποστηρικτής των δράσεων και των εκστρατειών της Διεθνούς Αμνηστίας, ήταν παρών σε εκδήλωση που έγινε στο αεροδρόμιο της Αθήνας όπου ένα υφαντό έργο τέχνης με ιδιαίτερο συμβολισμό και με την επιγραφή «Αγαπώ την Ελλάδα» (I Love Greece), βρήκε στέγη στον Διεθνή Αερολιμένα Αθηνών, αποστέλλοντας ένα ισχυρό μήνυμα αλληλεγγύης και ανθρωπισμού στους λαούς όλου του κόσμου.
Το υφαντό «I Love Greece», το οποίο αποκαλύφθηκε την ώρα άφιξης του Sting σε ειδική τελετή στο επίπεδο αφίξεων του αεροδρομίου, «σχεδιάστηκε» και προσφέρθηκε στη Διεθνή Αμνηστία από τη διεθνούς φήμης Ελληνίδα καλλιτέχνιδα Σοφία Βάρη, σε υποστήριξη της παγκόσμιας εκστρατείας της Αμνηστίας «I Welcome», για τους πρόσφυγες που αφήνουν τον τόπο τους, αναζητώντας καταφύγιο.Το υφαντό συμβολίζει το καλωσόρισμα που οι Έλληνες πολίτες προσέφεραν σε χιλιάδες άνδρες, γυναίκες και παιδιά που διέφυγαν από τον πόλεμο και την καταδίωξη στη Συρία, σε μια πολύ δύσκολη περίοδο και για την Ελλάδα την ίδια. Με το ιδιαίτερο μήνυμά του, το έργο θα εκτίθεται στην περιοχή των αφίξεων του Διεθνούς Αερολιμένα Αθηνών, ώστε να το αντικρίζουν τα εκατομμύρια των διερχόμενων ταξιδιωτών.
Ο Sting δήλωσε σχετικά:
«Για περισσότερα από 30 χρόνια, είμαι ενεργός υποστηρικτής του έργου της Διεθνούς Αμνηστίας που μάχεται για την προάσπιση των ανθρώπινων δικαιωμάτων. Η εκστρατεία της Αμνηστίας με στόχο την υποστήριξη των προσφύγων είναι και επείγουσα και ζωτικής σημασίας. Είμαι υπερήφανος που προσφέρω τη στήριξή μου και αισθάνομαι τιμή που ενώνουμε την προσπάθειά μας με την αναγνωρισμένη Ελληνίδα καλλιτέχνιδα Σοφία Βάρη, η οποία γενναιόδωρα προσέφερε την τέχνη της για να δημιουργηθεί αυτό το υπέροχο υφαντό έργο.
Ευχαριστώ τον Θεό για την Ελλάδα, επειδή μας δείξατε τον δρόμο. Έχετε δείξει πώς να αντιμετωπίζετε τους πρόσφυγες όταν άλλοι άνθρωποι κατασκεύαζαν τείχη. Όταν έπαιρναν τα παιδιά από τις μητέρες τους και τα έβαζαν σε κλουβιά, εσείς ενεργήσατε με συμπόνια, γενναιοδωρία και κοινή λογική».
Ηρώδειο
Στο ασφυκτικά γεμάτο Ηρώδειο ο 67χρονος Sting αποθεώθηκε τραγουδώντας τις επιτυχίες του από την μακρόχρονη πορεία του: «Englishman in New York», «Message in a Bottle», «Fields of Gold», «Shape of my heart», «So lonely», «Roxanne», «Desert Rose», «Every breath you take», «Fragile».
Ο Βρετανός μουσικός που ξεκίνησε την καριέρα του το 1977 κι έγινε γνωστός με το συγκρότημα Police, για να διαγράψει στη συνέχεια μια σόλο πορεία που τον έφερε στην κορυφή της μουσικής βιομηχανίας, είναι γνωστός και για την υποστήριξή του σε Οργανώσεις υπέρ των ανθρωπίνων δικαιωμάτων -όπως το Rainforest Fund, η Διεθνής Αμνηστία, το Live Aid.Το Σάββατο, ενώ όλα φαίνονταν ότι λειτουργούσαν ομαλά και οι θαυμαστές του διάσημου τραγουδιστή βρίσκονταν από νωρίς στο Ηρώδειο για τη συναυλία, η ξαφνική δυνατή νεροποντή άλλαξε το πρόγραμμα, με αποτέλεσμα να καθυστερήσει η έναρξη.
Παρά τη δυνατή βροχή και το πολύ νερό που είχε πέσει, ο Sting, αντί να ακυρώσει τη συναυλία του και να επιστρέψει στην άνεση του ξενοδοχείου του, πάλεψε με όποιον τρόπο μπορούσε προκειμένου να μη γίνει αυτό. Βγήκε στη σκηνή, κρατώντας μία σκούπα, για να βοηθήσει τους ανθρώπους που έκαναν ό,τι ήταν δυνατόν για να διώξουν τα νερά γνωρίζοντας την αποθέωση από τον κόσμο που τον είδε ανάμεσά του.

Επίσκεψη του αναπληρωτή Δημάρχου Θεσσαλονίκης, Νίκου Φωτίου, στα Σκόπια
Την πόλη των Σκοπίων επισκέφθηκε το Σάββατο 23 Ιουνίου 2018 ο αναπληρωτής Δημάρχου Θεσσαλονίκης, Αντιδήμαρχος, Νίκος Φωτίου, συνοδευόμενος από αντιπροσωπεία του Δήμου, μετά από επίσημη πρόσκληση του Δημάρχου Σκοπίων, Πέτρε Σιλέγκοφ, με αφορμή την επέτειο της συμπλήρωσης 55 χρόνων από τον καταστροφικό σεισμό που έπληξε την πόλη, το 1963.
Στο πλαίσιο μιας μεγάλης μουσικής εκδήλωσης τιμήθηκαν και πόλεις, όπως η Θεσσαλονίκη και η Αθήνα, οι οποίες συνέδραμαν στην ανοικοδόμηση των Σκοπίων, ενώ στις εκδηλώσεις παραβρέθηκε και ο Πρωθυπουργός κ. Ζόραν Ζάεφ. Παρέστησαν επίσης οι δήμαρχοι του Ζάγκρεμπ και της Πρίστινα καθώς και αντιπροσωπείες από άλλες βαλκανικές πόλεις.
«Ανταποκριθήκαμε με χαρά στην πρόσκληση του Δημάρχου Σκοπίων, κ. Πέτρε Σιλέγκοφ» δήλωσε ο Νίκος Φωτίου «διότι πέραν από το συγκεκριμένο γεγονός, ο Δήμος Θεσσαλονίκης, στο πλαίσιο της ‘’Διπλωματίας των πόλεων’’ είναι ανοιχτός σε αμοιβαία επωφελείς συνεργασίες που ενισχύουν τις σχέσεις μεταξύ των πόλεων και προωθούν ένα ευρύ φάσμα κοινών δράσεων σε τομείς, όπως ο τουρισμός, ο πολιτισμός, η εκπαίδευση, η επιχειρηματικότητα κ.ά.».

Η ΠΑΡΕΑ ΤΟΥ ΒΜΧ
ΠΑΡΑ τη συννεφιά, η θερμοκρασία κι η υγρασία στην ατμόσφαιρα, σε έκαναν να νιώθεις ένα πνίξιμο. Στην άκρη της θάλασσας, φυσούσε ένα ελαφρύ αεράκι. Όχι ότι σε δρόσιζε, αλλά είχες την αίσθηση ότι η θερμοκρασία ήταν καλύτερη. Η παρέα με τα BMX ανέβηκε αθόρυβα στην ξύλινη προβλήτα. Έκαναν μερικές αναγνωριστικές γύρες με τα ποδήλατά τους κι οι περισσότεροι από αυτούς που απολάμβαναν τη θέα της θάλασσας, τράβηξαν τις τσάντες και τα κινητά κοντά τους. Σιγά, σιγά οι ποδηλάτες άρχισαν να ανεβαίνουν στις μαρμάρινες πλάκες. Να κάνουν σούζες, ακροβατικά, να πηδάνε στο πλακόστρωτο, να οδηγούν τα ποδήλατά τους ανάποδα. Αρχικά, η εισβολή των νεαρών ενόχλησε αυτούς που ρέμβαζαν κοιτάζοντας προς τη θάλασσα. Στην συνέχεια όμως γύρισαν και άρχισαν να παρατηρούν τον ενθουσιασμό και τα ριψοκίνδυνα κόλπα των ποδηλατών. Από το βάθος έρχονταν η καλοκαιρινή καταιγίδα. «Riders on the storm…»
Αυτό ήταν το κείμενο που ανέβασα ένα απόγευμα, στο λογαριασμό του HumanStories στο Facebook, μαζί με μερικές φωτογραφίες των νεαρών με τα BMXνα κάνουν κόλπα με τα ποδήλατά τους και την καταιγίδα να έρχεται από την άλλη μεριά του Θερμαϊκού. Να στέκεται πίσω τους σαν Background φωτογράφισης, με τις ακτίνες του ήλιου να ξεπροβάλουν μέσα από τα σύννεφα σε ριπές, ως προβολείς σε στούντιο. Το κείμενο και οι φωτογραφίες, έγιναν αφορμή για να γνωρίσω τους CandyBar.
Μια καταπληκτική ομάδα νέων ανθρώπων, που περνάνε τα απογεύματα τους πάνω σε ένα BMX ποδήλατο. Άλλοτε κρατώντας τις ρόδες των ποδηλάτων τους στη γη κι άλλοτε στον αέρα. Το ραντεβού μας, ήταν στις μπλε ράμπες, λίγα μέτρα μακριά από το Μέγαρο Μουσικής Θεσσαλονίκης. Κάποια ποδήλατα, ήταν αραδιασμένα στην άκρη του πάρκου ενώ κάποια άλλα διέσχιζαν τις ράμπες κι έκαναν κόλπα. Πριν τους πλησιάσω, τους παρατήρησα από μακριά. Θυμήθηκα τα λόγια της συναδέλφου που μου έκανε την επαφή. «Όπου κι αν πάνε να κάνουν ποδήλατο τους διώχνουν. Λένε ότι προκαλούν ζημιές», μου είπε. Ένα από τα καταφύγιά τους λοιπόν, είναι οι μπλε ράμπες. Ξεχαρβαλωμένες σε αρκετά σημεία, με τις λαμαρίνες να προεξέχουν σαν μαχαίρια, βίδες να λείπουν από κάποια άλλα. «Πολλές φορές τις διορθώνουμε μόνοι μας. Τα κλαδιά τα έκοψα μόνος μου για να βλέπουμε όταν ανάβουν οι ηλεκτρικές λάμπες το βράδυ» θα σχολίαζε λίγο αργότερα ο Γιώργος. Γνωστός και ως «ουρίτσας» για τους φίλους του, λόγω του χτενίσματος του. «Σε κάποια στιγμή κάηκαν οι λάμπες και πήγαμε στον Δήμο Θεσσαλονίκης. Ζητήσαμε να τις αντικαταστήσουν, προκειμένου να μπορούμε κάνουμε ποδήλατο και το βράδυ. Εδώ και μήνες, δεν έχουν κάνει τίποτε. Οι λάμπες παραμένουν καμένες» συμπληρώνει ο Στέφανος.
Ο Αντώνης Ρεπανάς συνομιλεί με τα μέλη του CandyBar, οι οποίοι μοιράζονται τις ανησυχίες τους και τα προβλήματα που δε λύνονται στην παραλία προκειμένου να ασχοληθούν ανενόχλητοι με αυτό που αγαπάνε…
Στα τέλη Ιανουαρίου του 2018 στις μπλε ράμπες, ένας 17χρονος ποδηλάτης έχασε τη ζωή του. «Εκείνη η ράμπα έχει αφαιρεθεί», μου είπε ο Στέφανος και συνέχισε: «Το μεγαλύτερο πρόβλημα που έχουμε, είναι ότι δεν υπάρχουν χώροι για εμάς. Όλοι μας κοιτάζουν παράξενα. Υπάρχει βέβαια ένας οργανωμένος χώρος για BMX πλάι στο Mediterranean Cosmos κι ένας ακόμη στο Πανόραμα, όμως πώς να πας εκεί με το ποδήλατο; Δεν υπάρχουν ποδηλατοδρόμοι. Πρέπει να πας μέσα από τον δρόμο και θα σε φάνε λάχανο».
Ο Μάικ παρεμβαίνει: «Ακόμη κι εδώ στο πάρκο με τις ράμπες έχουμε προβλήματα. Έρχονται γονείς με τα παιδιά τους και τα βάζουν να κάνουν τσουλήθρα στις ράμπες. Μπαίνουν μέσα με μικρά ποδηλατάκια δίχως να καταλαβαίνουν ότι εδώ είναι ένας ειδικός χώρος για ποδήλατα, σκέιτ και πατίνια. Έχουμε γίνει πολλές φορές φασαρίες γιατί δεν καταλαβαίνουν. Μια φορά φέρανε και την αστυνομία, επειδή τους είπαμε ότι οι ράμπες δεν είναι τσουλήθρες. Μπορούνε να πάνε λίγο πιο πλάι που έχει πάρκο για μικρά παιδιά και να κάνουν ποδήλατο, ή να κάνουν τσουλήθρα».
Οι CandyBar, απαρτίζονται από δεκαπέντε περίπου ποδηλάτες. Σε ολόκληρη τη Θεσσαλονίκη όμως υπάρχουν εκατοντάδες νέοι που ζουν πάνω σε ένα ΒMX και εκφράζονται οδηγώντας το σε μια αφιλόξενη πόλη για το ποδήλατο και σε μια καχύποπτη πόλη σε ότι κινείται έξω από τα καλούπια. Τους πρωτοείδα λίγο πριν ξεκινήσει μια καταιγίδα έξω από το Μακεδονία Παλλάς. Τους συνάντησα και πάλι λίγο πριν ξεκινήσει μια νέα καταιγίδα, μερικές μέρες μετά, στις μπλε ράμπες λίγα μέτρα μακριά από το μέγαρο μουσικής. Τους αφιερώνω ένα τραγούδι της δικής μου γενιάς από τους τους TheDoors: “Ridersonthestorm”.
