Ed Sheeran reacts to scary fall during 2025 tour return

The post Ed Sheeran reacts to scary fall during 2025 tour return appeared first on ClutchPoints.
Going on tour can be dangerous, as singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran learned as he started his 2025 European leg of the Mathematics Tour.
During one of his recent concerts in Madrid, Spain, Sheeran tripped while walking to his loop pedal. The loop pedal is on a platform in the center of his stage, and he tripped over one of the steps. Luckily, he got right back up and continued on.
Sheeran saw the viral video on TikTok and responded. He seemingly took it in stride despite the video going viral. 'Happens more than you think,' he wrote in the comments.
The concert was not affected by the fall. Sheeran continued on with his hit-filled set, and fans went home happy despite the scary incident.
To be fair, Sheeran's latest shows marked the return of his 360-degree stage. Some of his earlier shows this year did not feature his 360-degree stage, so he didn't have to worry about these platforms.
Yes, Sheeran is going to be on tour in 2025. However, his remaining shows are part of his final European leg of the Mathematics Tour. Currently, he does not have any other planned dates after September 7, 2025.
Luckily, a new tour could ensue after the Mathematics Tour ends. His next album, Play, will be coming out in September 2025 as well. Perhaps he will launch a new tour to celebrate his new era that is starting with the album.
While on the Mathematics Tour, Sheeran will also perform three special homecoming shows in Ipswich, England, from July 11-13, 2025. These will presumably be centered around his Play album.
The Mathematics Tour is a celebration of the first era of Sheeran's career. He mostly plays songs from his first six albums, and he also released Subtract and Autumn Variations while on tour in 2023.
It started in April 2022 in support of his Equals album, which was released in 2021. Sheeran is now in his fourth year of this tour, and over 160 shows are planned for the itinerary.
He will next play in Marseille, France, on June 6 and 7. His tour will go across Europe throughout the summer and into the fall. The tour is set to conclude in Düsseldorf, Germany.
Play is the eighth studio album released by Sheeran. The first single, 'Azizam,' was released on April 4, 2025. A second single, 'Old Phone,' was released on May 1. The album's third single, 'Sapphire,' will come out on June 5.

Curve Model Faces 'Awkward' Comment About Her Body During Flight. Why She Wasn't 'Shocked' by It (Exclusive)

Curve model Kate Kope got over 300K views on TikTok for opening up about her encounter with an older woman who commented on her body during their flight Kope, 27, recalled the woman saying that she was "not that fat" after she found out Kope classified herself as a curve model Speaking with PEOPLE exclusively, Kope reveals why she "was not shocked" by the woman's unfiltered reaction"There's nothing quite like getting humbled on your early morning @delta flight," model Kate Kope wrote when she posted a TikTok video about an awkward encounter she had with a seat neighbor on her flight to Los Angeles. In the clip, which received over 300K views as of writing, Kope — a 27-year-old curve model from Brooklyn, N.Y. — recalled that the woman made a comment on her body after finding out she was a curve model. According to Kope, who is signed on with Jag Models, a photo of her in lingerie prompted the woman to say this next. "She goes, 'Oh, don't worry, you're not that fat,'" she revealed. Following the incident, Kope tells PEOPLE she "was not shocked" by the woman's unfiltered response because she actually gets similar reactions pretty often. "I'm used to people not quite knowing what to say when I tell them I am a curve model," explains Kope, who says she is a "true 10" in size but can fluctuate from 8 to 14 on any given day. She notes that clothing samples for curve models range from a 12 to a 16. "In person, I am not at all what someone would consider as 'curvy' or 'plus-size,' so an awkward reaction often happens. I think people almost want to comfort me and let me know that I'm not fat, as if I have allowed the fashion industry to convince me otherwise for labeling me as a 'curve' model. So, I don't take their inappropriate reactions to heart." She adds: "To many people, fat equals bad and skinny equals good, so these interactions just reveal more about how people perceive thinness in society and how they look at women's bodies. Little do they know, I've done the mental work and no longer wish to strive for thinness as my life goal." Kope doesn't believe that the woman, whom she notes was older, made the comment with "malice or ill intent." "We actually had an interesting conversation about many things. Maybe I should have judged her more, but I truly let it roll off my back," she says. "I personally get more annoyed by younger people who make these comments because I expect millennials and Gen Z to be more aware." Kope describes herself as a "confident" woman, though these types of interactions only highlight her struggle to truly identify with her job title. "I shy away a lot from telling strangers I'm a model. If I just say 'model' without including 'curve' or 'plus,' I can see people immediately stare at my body and question the validity of my answer. But when I do say 'curve or 'plus', they often want to say how ridiculous it is. So, I exist in this middle ground where either answer warrants an often uncomfortable response." The conversation around plus-size modeling has grown thanks to the rise of models like Ashley Graham, Paloma Elsesser, Iskra Lawrence, Lauren Chan, Precious Lee and Hunter McGrady, all of whom have advocated for body diversity industry-wide. Although Kope, who started her modeling career a decade ago and has since worked for brands including Victoria's Secret, SKIMS, Fenty Beauty and Hollister, tells PEOPLE that she's noticed a "regression" in the number of job openings accessible to models like herself, and she sees it affecting her community. is now available in the Apple App Store!

"A couple years ago, curve models had more of a presence in the industry. My friends who are size 16+ would shoot campaigns, beauty and editorials. It felt like fashion was starting to explore what a size-inclusive industry could look like. But recently, there has been less and less of that happening. I've noticed brands shooting smaller and smaller curves or the models they're using are just midsize like myself. Many of my friends size 16+ are struggling to find their place in the industry again." "That is why I want to continue to talk about this on my social media," continues Kope. "Our perception of thinness cannot be so skewed by the media we are consuming. It's so unhealthy for the younger generation. I should not be the largest size they see in campaigns. I should not be the only depiction of a 'curvy' woman. Nothing has healed my perception and love of my body more than my community of plus-size models. They are confident, fashionable, funny, smart, and just the coolest people I know. If the brands right now won't highlight them, seek them out for yourselves!" Read the original article on People

‘Team Conrad' Or ‘Team Jeremiah'? Your Choice Might Reflect Your Relationship Style

The Summer I Turned Pretty has completely overtaken my TikTok feed, with countless people arguing over who the main character Isabel 'Belly' Conklin (Lola Tung) should end up with. If you haven't seen the show, the nostalgic teen drama centres around Belly and her dramatic love triangle. It's a bit complicated, because she's trying to choose between brothers: Conrad Fisher (Christopher Briney) and Jeremiah Fisher (Gavin Casalegno). They also happen to be lifelong family friends, and spend every summer together. Is it a recipe for disaster? Absolutely. But does it make for binge-worthy TV? You bet. The series, based on Jenny Han's books of the same name, has captured the attention of all age groups. Case in point: I'm a millennial who has been married for 11 years, yet I'm incredibly invested in what happens to these characters. There's something comforting about being transported back to summer, where you no longer have to worry about bills, the state of the world, or finding a place to live. However, being so removed from that part of my life where I was discovering love for the first time makes me view the show through a different lens. I started to get curious about whether my age, stage in life or what I value in relationships had anything to do with my opinion. With this in mind, I spoke to multiple experts about relationship styles, how watching relationships on TV can affect young people, and what being Team Conrad or Team Jeremiah could say about your relationship habits. If you need a quick refresher before The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3, let me give you the basics. Conrad is the eldest of the two Fisher brothers, and he's your typical broody and mysterious heartthrob. Belly had a crush on Conrad her entire life, and everybody knew it. Jeremiah has always been one of Belly's best friends, and he's much more outgoing and tends to value communication. During Season 1, Belly kissed both of the brothers before deciding to pursue a relationship with Conrad, crushing Jeremiah. In Season 2, we found out that Conrad broke Belly's heart after he withdrew when his mother was dying from cancer, and she eventually reconnected with Jeremiah. We'll see which brother Belly chooses when The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 drops on July 16. Dr Joyce Yu, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer at Consent Labs tells Refinery29 Australia it's important not to assume what you see on screen is 'normal or okay'. As we know, there are many unhealthy relationships that become romanticised on screen (we're looking at you, Blair Waldorf and Chuck Bass), so we should all approach TV with critical thinking. 'It's completely okay to enjoy media and TV shows, because they're often designed for escapism. But the key is being able to engage critically too: asking yourself whether what's portrayed reflects a healthy relationship in real life,' Yu says. 'One way to assess whether a relationship on screen is healthy is by assessing the power dynamics. Check whether there are elements that give someone more power. This could be their age, position in the workplace or social hierarchy, or professional role.' Yu also warns that 'respectful communication and consent' is key, and says TV shows often can portray jealousy as love. One easy way to test if a relationship you're invested in is healthy is to ask a simple question: 'If this scenario happened in real life to my friend, would I think it was healthy or problematic?' Team Conrad Psychologist Carly Dober tells Refinery29 Australia that those who are firmly in the Team Conrad camp could simply be attracted to him physically (hello, it's Christopher Briney), or that you could enjoy the 'bad boy archetype' or the 'push and pull dynamic'. 'This might mean that this kind of relationship is more of what you're looking for [or] it might mean that this feels familiar to you,' she explains. Conrad tends to be unpredictable — from leaving Belly in tears at prom to calling her a 'brat' and a 'mistake' — which feels cruel, but in the real world, can be familiar to many people. Those feelings of 'butterflies' that you can get in your stomach when you're in a relationship? They're not always a good sign. 'Unpredictability can cause anxiety, which can cause the sensation of butterflies in your stomach. This can be misattributed to excitement and novelty, whereas for most healthy and sustaining relationships, there will be clear communication and expectations, and that sensation will dissipate as you get to know and trust one another,' Dober says. Being Team Connie also doesn't necessarily mean you want this type of relationship in your own life, but perhaps you're craving something completely different from what you usually experience. TV is a great way to rot on the couch and tune out for a while, after all! '[Viewers] might just be enjoying the drama as an escape from their own lives. We often find that if people are questioned about how much they would like to be in a relationship like the one on screen, they would not want to at all,' Dober says. Team Jeremiah If you're Team Jeremiah, Dober says you may be 'attracted to stability and dependability', and he ticks the boxes for what you're looking for. 'It might mean that you admire his personal traits or how he talks to people on the show. It might mean that you're attracted to this kind of person anyway… or are interested in these traits in future partners,' Dober says. There's also a possibility you have been 'burned' in a relationship before, and recognise it's time to try something new. 'People might come to find familiarity with the volatility of some relationships. This doesn't mean that they want this or like this, it just might be the only thing that they understand. For many people, being 'burned' will encourage them to find something different,' she explains. Some viewers may root for a character demonstrating 'stability and dependability' because they're at a different stage of their life, and their priorities around long-term commitment have changed. Dober says this comes as a result of maturity and knowing "what it takes to have a sustaining and healthy relationship work". While she says the show is obviously entertainment, it can also reflect what people "are looking for in that stage of their lives, too". There are arguments for both Team Conrad and Team Jeremiah, and if you wade into fan debates online, you'll quickly realise how passionate everybody can be. Your views can be coloured by past relationships, what you're looking for in your personal life, or maybe you're just attracted to the actors playing the characters on screen. Perhaps being Team Conrad or Team Jeremiah isn't so black and white as I first thought.

From a holiday to a home

In the 18 years since he moved to the island of Koh Samui in Thailand, Martin Selby tells me that he's only been back home to the UK twice. It's a quiet morning, and we're seated in Foxtrot Bistro, Selby's restaurant that serves modern European fare with Asian influences. The place hasn't opened for the day yet, so we have it all to ourselves. A new breakfast menu is on the way, he says, and it'll probably be out by the time this story runs. The establishment overlooks Bangrak Bay on Samui's northern shore, and he wasn't lying about the view. Beyond the terrace, the water stretches out to the horizon in shades of blue and green. Not far away, a wooden pier juts out into the bay, where a handful of small fishing boats lie moored. In the evenings, he says, it's the perfect spot to catch the sunset. Originally from Grantham, a town about 100 miles north of London, Selby never thought he'd end up building a life for himself in Samui. He started working in kitchens when he was 16, but always dreamed of traveling abroad. When he turned 25 and became a sous chef, he decided it was time. "I thought, well, if I don't go and do it now, I might not ever do it, and I'll just end up working forever and ever," Selby, now 43, said with a laugh. With that, he was off on a yearlong trip through Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. Samui was one of his earliest stops in Thailand, and as his travels drew to a close, he spontaneously decided to return to the island. "I had three months left before my return flight, and I was like, I might just chill here now," he said. "About a month into being chill, I was like, what if I could get a job here?" He printed out his CV at an internet café, went door to door at local hotels, and soon secured a job as a chef. As his career grew, so did his personal life: He got married and became a father. "It was all very spur of the moment," he added. From chef to restaurant owner Funnily enough, when Selby first arrived in 2007, Samui didn't make a good impression on him. "When I got here, it just seemed a little bit chaotic," he said. "You get off a bus or a ferry, and you've got people sort of touting for your business and things like that." But once he adjusted to island life, Samui quickly began to feel like home. Over the years, Selby worked at several restaurants and hotels across the island before eventually striking out on his own. In addition to Foxtrot, he also co-founded Blind Tiger Kitchen and Cocktails, located just a three-minute drive away, with a business partner. While Selby manages the kitchen, his partner oversees the bar. But running his own restaurants hadn't always been the end goal. It wasn't something he thought he could pull off back in the UK. "I don't think it was until I got here that I sort of realized I could open my own place." These days, a typical morning starts with breakfast alongside his teenage son at a nearby café run by his wife. Then he's off to Foxtrot Bistro to handle paperwork and check in with his manager before opening for the day. In the late afternoon, he stops by Blind Tiger to do the same, and usually finishes up around 8 p.m. All his staff members are local. Thankfully, it's not too hard to find experienced staff on the island, which has a booming F&B and hospitality scene, he said. Staffing turnover isn't too bad when the employees are cared for, he said. In his restaurants, there's a 10% service charge, and every cent goes to his team. "I just saw all the hotels were doing it, and they're getting amazing staff," he added. Selby uses a combination of locally sourced and imported ingredients and says he tries to change some of his menu items seasonally to keep things fresh. But balancing different tastes can be a challenge. "I sat with a group of friends the other day and told them I was starting a new menu for the restaurant. And, literally, every single one of them said a different dish that I can't take off," he said. The challenges of running a food business It's not as easy to run a restaurant as people think. Competition is stiff on the island and the cost of operating a restaurant adds up quickly, Selby said. "People think prices have to be cheap because it's Thailand, but that doesn't hold up when you're using chorizo from Spain or cheese from France," he said. He's learned over time that running a restaurant involves far more than simply serving food. There's the operations side, like staffing and scheduling, and the finance side, like maintaining a steady cash flow. Accounting takes up most of his time these days. "My sous chefs look after the kitchens and I just look over them, crunching numbers, making sure bills are paid, making sure we can pay the staff." One of the biggest challenges is managing the peak and off-peak tourist seasons, each lasting about six months. There's a big difference between both, Selby added: "You could go down to a third of your revenue." It takes careful financial planning to make sure the restaurant at least breaks even in the low season, he said. Despite the responsibility, being a business owner comes with a certain freedom — like the ability to take time off on short notice to be with family or attend a wedding, he said. "I saw a thing on Instagram that said, if you're a slave to your restaurant that you've opened, then you're not doing it right. And I believe in that," he said. "If they need me all the time, then I'm not doing it right." Building a life in Samui Almost two decades on, Selby has firmly rooted himself in Samui. He speaks Thai, is married to a Thai woman, and his 15-year-old son attends an international school on the island. Moving back to the UK is out of the question, he said. If there's something he misses about the UK, it would be the different seasons — and yet, it's one of the reasons he left in the first place. "It's crazy, isn't it? It's like if you split up with a partner, you miss them for ages, but you don't want to go back to them because that's why you split up in the first place," Selby said. "That's the same with me and England."
