Unfortunately, he had to cancel a performance at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas due to challenges related to equipment transport.

Taking to Instagram, Ed explained: "It was a safety issue, and we really tried to do the best we could to make the show happen but I’m not gonna risk the safety of my fans for anything.
