Kids Wish Network flew Carter and his family to Boston for his musical adventure. On Carter’s special day, it was show time. After arriving at Gillette Stadium, the excitement for Carter started even before the concert. He was taken backstage and met music superstar Ed Sheeran! “I was surprised and nervous,” said Wish Kid Carter. “It was crazy… I didn’t think I’d ever be meeting him.” Carter found out just hours before the show.

Carter’s favorite song is Photograph – he had many taken with Ed Sheeran. Carter’s treasured photo is a Polaroid of them together that Ed Sheeran signed. They also spent time talking about the night’s performance being Carter’s first concert and his most-loved songs.

During the wish, the family was indulged at the elegant Battery Wharf Hotel, staying in the luxurious Presidential Suite. They also enjoyed festive dinners at Red Robin and Wahlburgers who went out of their way to make his wish experience extra special.

“The wish was perfect,” said Carter’s mom Christine. “He was thrilled and full of excitement. We’re so grateful and had the best time.”

“We’re glad that Carter had the experience of a lifetime meeting Ed Sheeran,” said Kids Wish Network Executive Director Tam Lai. “His wish was a special time shared with his family that he’ll always remember.”

The “Shape of You” singer popped by the Ryan Seacrest Studios at Boston Children’s Hospital on behalf of the Ryan Seacrest Foundation on Saturday afternoon, and it was quite the memorable day for the children.

Sporting jeans, a white tee with the word “Hoax” on the front, his trademark black glasses and a furry beard, Sheeran, 27, sat down with the children to answer some questions. The kids asked about songwriting, what’s on his current playlist, and about his favorite movies. (Answer: Cool Runnings, The Lion King and Finding Nemo.)

When one patient inquired whether his glasses were for real or for fashion, he took them off and allowed the kids to try them on so they could see how poor his eyesight really is.

The children also inquired whether he colors his famous red hair, to which he said no.

After answering questions from the group, Sheeran produced his guitar and performed the song “Perfect,” then took the time to meet and take photos with every patient who was there to see him.

“I saw a lot of tears in the audience when he sang,” said one attendee. “It was very emotional.”

This visit wasn’t Sheeran’s first visit to the hospital. Last September, he performed an acoustic set for the children while in town to perform at the TD Garden.

This time, Sheeran was in the Boston area for his two-night performance at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts. Sheeran knew how to cater to that crowd, too; On Friday he hit the stage wearing a New England Patriots jersey of tight end Rob Gronkowski.

Up for bids is the opportunity for two people to enjoy an ‘intimate meeting’ with Ed Sheeran on 19th June, a day after his four-night run of performances at Wembley Arena. The experience also includes extras such as taking home a guitar signed by Sheeran, and two exclusive VIP tickets – not open to general release – to an evening event, ‘An Evening with Dermot O’Leary and Ed Sheeran’, hosted by the two stars, joined by Annie Mac and Sara Cox. Full details of the auction can be found here.

The auction has been organized to support the London Irish Centre, which has worked for over 60 years in the Irish community in the capital. The charity aims to function as a ‘home from home’ to young Irish immigrants, providing a mix of high-quality services, projects and events to support the changing needs and interests of Irish people in London. London Irish Centre also promotes Irish art, culture, and heritage for the public benefit.

The Ed Sheeran auction will run until this 4:00 pm (BST) this Thursday 14th June (2018), and is accepting bids in digital currencies AidCoin, Bitcoin, and Ethereum.

“This auction is part of the great positive incline of renowned celebrities accepting cryptocurrencies as a means of funding their campaigns. Most recent examples being a successful auction for a power lunch with Bitcoin.com CEO, Roger Ver, and teaming-up with model Naomi Campbell for her ‘Fashion For Relief’ campaign, to which CharityStars hosted a live auction at this years’ Cannes fashion show,” said Francesco Nazari Fusetti, CEO, and Co-Founder at CharityStars.

“This year has seen a surge in popularity of celebrities and organizations that choose to accept cryptocurrency donations [for charitable fundraising].” Fusetti described the trend as representative of a “new era of charitable giving”.

This isn’t the first time we’ve witnessed Ed’s kindness. Just last year, he made an incredible gesture for a little boy he met while traveling to Liberia with Comic Relief and also gave a sick little girl her own private concert because she was unable to see him perform live. Grab some tissues, and watch the video below.

“Prince Harry has personally requested Ed perform at his wedding,” the insider tells Us.

There had been speculation that the “Shape of You” singer, who is friends with Harry’s cousin Princess Beatrice, would be asked to perform for wedding guests and when asked about it at the end of last year, the Grammy winner seemed open to the invitation.

“Yeah, why not?” he told reporters at Buckingham Palace in December when he was made a Member of the Order of the British Empire by Harry’s father, Prince Charles.

With just three months to go before the big day, the British royal and the former Suits actress are finalizing details for their nuptials at Windsor Castle.

Kensington Palace announced on Sunday, February 11, that the wedding service will start at noon on May 19 at St. George’s Chapel, with the marriage vows being officiated by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby.

After the ceremony, the newlyweds will take a carriage ride through Windsor town back to the castle. According to the palace, the couple “hope this short journey will provide an opportunity for people to come together around Windsor and to enjoy the atmosphere of this special day.”

The wedding reception will be held at St. George’s Hall and will be followed by a private reception for close friends and family hosted by Harry’s father, Prince Charles.

It’s unclear which part of the day will feature a performance by Sheeran, but it’s expected he will sing at the reception. His ex Ellie Goulding performed at the reception of Prince William and Duchess Kate at Buckingham Palace in April 2011, singing Elton John‘s “Your Song” for the couple’s first dance. The original was a favorite of Princess Diana, William’s late mother.

John himself may also be performing at Harry and Markle’s ceremony or reception. The Oscar winner, who was a friend of Diana’s, sang “Candle in the Wind” at her funeral in 1997. The “Tiny Dancer” singer has rescheduled two Las Vegas shows that were originally slated for the weekend of the royal wedding.

On Thursday, the Grammy winner donned his royal best for a unique occasion at Buckingham Palace. Sporting a long suit jacket and pants, the 26-year-old star stood tall and proud as he was made an official member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire for his services to music and charity.

During the investiture ceremony, Sheeran smiled as Prince Charles granted him a prized red and silver neck decoration, which he later gleefully showed off to photographers afterward.

Judging by the Sheeran’s grin, the moment was one he’ll always remember.

“Honoured to be awarded an MBE today at Buckingham Palace,” he gushed on social media.

While the day was already special, it also marked a heartbreaking anniversary for the singer.

“My grandfather…he died on this day four years ago, so it’s actually quite a nice full circle thing,” he said, according to Clarence House. “I guess he’d be pretty proud.”

Sheeran is also in acclaimed musical company as all four members of The Beatles were granted MBEs in 1965, although John Lennon ultimately returned the honor in protest.

Ed Sheeran has certainly been a force to be reckoned with in the musical industry lately. With a world tour, Grammy nominations, and Platinum-selling albums to his credit, it appears the artist known for hits such as “Thinking Out Loud” and “Don’t” has no signs of wearing out his novelty anytime soon. Although fans hungry for more of his musical genius are growing by the day, it appears he may hang up his microphone indefinitely to pursue charitable endeavors.

This is by no means foreign territory for Sheeran. The 24-year-old Suffolk native has already done benefit shows for street sex workers, donated his personal clothing to charities, and is an ambassador for Anglia’s Children’s Hospice, and performed with Band Aid 30 to raise money for Ebola. However, it seems that for whatever money and fame are at his fingertips, he’s now shifted his interest to another philanthropic endeavor – volunteering at the Sue Ryder shop in his hometown of Framlingham, Suffolk. For those unfamiliar with that name, Sue Ryder is a charity to support people with disabilities and life-threatening illnesses as well as their families, careers, and friends by offering at-home care or assistance in residential centers.

And if that weren’t enough, the singer and songwriter is rumored to be turning an old police station into a youth club. Although not confirmed, it’s said that Ed may also volunteer at the shop as well as the youth club when it’s up and running. Perhaps his decision will garner more young people to do the same.

Manager of the Framlingham Sue Ryder, Jacqui Bell told the Sunday Mirror, “There is a good possibility he will volunteer here. My volunteers, who are aged 61 to 91, know Ed because he was brought up in the town. They’d be fine working with him.”

He continued by explaining that as soon as Martin was appointed curator, he began work on setting up acts. “He not only said that Coldplay would be happy to be part of it, he was so humble in his approach that he began talking to his fellow artists as well. He reached out to Ed Sheeran first, who said yes immediately and around the same time he asked Beyoncé to get involved, who was obviously onstage with Jay Z last year when he headlined and had a great experience.”

The star power that has been packed into this annual festival have cultivated new partnerships including Chime For Change and Global Poverty Project. Beyoncé and Selma Hayek co-founded Chime For Change, a gender equality campaign allowing better access to education for women as well as helping to eliminate poverty. The overall event, so far, includes Pearl Jam, Carrie Underwood, Tiësto, No Doubt, Sting, Alicia Keys, Jay Z, Beyoncé, The Roots and fun., as performers, as well as corporate partners such as H&M which is partnering with the event and will aid with a clothes-recycling program.

A one hour special will be recorded from New York’s Great Lawn in Central Park on September 26, to then be aired on television on September 27 on NBC, and September 28 on BBC for the UK. Some sites, YouTube and iHeartRadio, will live stream the event for those who want a real-time play-by-play.

A chance at winning free tickets to the festival is available on the Global Citizen Festival website and can be entered by volunteering, making phone calls, or becoming a part of the effort to spread the word about worldwide poverty. Those who want to purchase tickets can do so via Ticketmaster, with Citi cardmembers (a presenting sponsor of the festival) having special access to tickets.

According to The Mirror, Channan explains that people struggle to see how she is ill because of how little she looks it. She tells them, “The truth is that I do only have a certain amount of time left to live. My lungs rip so I cough up blood, and I’ve been on morphine since November for chronic chest pain. Don’t get me wrong, I know transplants can be successful, I’m a registered donor myself. But over time, the cystic fibrosis will kill my organs too and I’ll have to go through dying all over again. I’d far rather the organs went to somebody who’d be able to go on and live a full, happy life. More than anything I want to educate people about cystic fibrosis. That’s why I’m sharing my story. I’m not one for sympathy. I try to be as positive I can and never like to splash it over social media if I’m having a bad day, but the response has been amazing.”  

Can’t wait for the show to begin

A few weeks before the concert at Wembley Stadium, she became ill with pneumonia and was taken to the hospital, causing her to worry she wouldn’t get to meet her idol. Luckily, her health improved and both her and her twin sister were able to visit Sheeran backstage before watching the concert. She explained the singer as, “So lovely and genuine, he had a great sense of humor and was really easy to get on with. He signed my program and we took some selfies together. He smelt amazing.” Some of her other bucket list events include going to a One Direction concert, feeding a lion, meeting a penguin and going on a hot air balloon ride.

Visit her GoFundMe page to help raise money for Channan’s bucket list to be completed.
