Ed Sheeran was looking a little downcast when he was spotted heading home with his arm in a sling.

The singer looked a little forlorn as he was pictured for the first time since breaking his arm in a car accident.

The Shape Of You hitmaker was hit by a car whilst he was cycling through London.

He revealed on social media that he had broken his right arm, sharing a picture of it in a cast.

But in these new pictures, Ed also appears to have hurt his left arm, as he was wearing it in a sling.

Ed wore a long black coat on his shoulders, attempting to hold it in place with his two injured arms.

It's now unsure whether Ed will be able to perform at his scheduled tour dates in October.

Ed's official website is still linking to tour dates that have been cancelled by the singer in the wake of his crash.

The flame-haired singer announced he would not be performing at a series of upcoming shows following a nasty bike accident.

Ed was knocked down by a car in London, leaving him with fractures in his right wrist and left elbow.

Yet tickets to Ed's Taipei show on the 22nd October are still advertised as available, even though it's already been stated he won't be able to perform due to injury.

A representative for the star has told the Mirror the link will be taken down later today.

The news comes after Ed was blasted by fans for cancelling a string of tour dates

After breaking the news via a statement on his Instagram, Ed's picture of his bandaged up arm was received with sympathy from some of his following.

But some of those lucky enough to get tickets couldn't fail to hide their distress that they wouldn't be seeing him in action.

"So you let down all these people that have paid to see you just because you did that," fumed one.

"I’m so disappointed," slammed another. "I thought the concert was okay because you can stand and sing even though without playing guitar...The fans have been excited to see you for ages."

"Soooo.... did you break your legs as well!?! And also, I was unaware you're the only one who can play your tunes on guitar #justsayin " raged a third.

While others complained about the effect Ed's accident would have on their plans.

"Pls don’t postpone the concert. I can’t take aby day off," ranted another.

A representative for the star said: "Ed's gutted he won't be making these shows. Ticket holders are encouraged to wait for further information about upcoming shows and rescheduling."

The comments came in response to a statement Ed shared on his Instagram page.

"A visit to my doctors confirmed fractures in my right wrist and left elbow that will leave me unable to perform live concerts for the immediate future," he wrote.

"Sadly, this means that the following shows will not be able to go ahead as planned: Taipei, Osaka, Seoul, Tokyo and Hong Kong.

"I’m waiting to see how the healing progresses before we have to decide on shows beyond that.

"Please stay tuned for more details."

Confirming he can't use his hands at all, the note finished: "PS - Ed isn’t typing this as he has both arms casted/bandaged."

The Galway Girl singer shocked fans when he revealed he'd been caught up in a crash on Monday.

"I've had a bit of a bicycle accident and I’m currently waiting on some medical advice, which may affect some of my upcoming shows. Please stay tuned for further news. Ed," he wrote to his 15million Instagram followers.

Following the cancelled shows, he also has dates lined up in the Philippines, Indonesia and Singapore, before moving on to Malaysia and Thailand in mid-November.

His last dates for 2017 are penned in for November 19 in Mumbai, India, and November 23 in Dubai.
