Grammy-Winning Singer Bursts Into Tears Performing Beloved Song for First Time in 8 Years
One of the most successful artists of the past decade is English musician Ed Sheeran. The star has broken records across the world and sold hundreds of millions of albums. Releasing his first album in 2011, Sheeran defined much of the pop sound that came out during the 2010s, with songs like "Shape of You," "Photograph," and "Love Yourself."
Sheeran has always been known for some emotional songs, with his more stripped back style connecting with fans who resonate with the lyrics of his songs. One such moment happened at a recent concert, with his tune, "Supermarket Flowers."
The song is a heavy one for the artist, having been written about the death of his grandmother from his mother's perspective. The song clearly means a lot to people, which must be why a fan suggested it at a concert, leading to this emotional performance.
He was just totally overcome, after having not performed the tune for 8 years. What a moving moment, with everyone sharing the emotions the song brings. This didn't stop at those who were in attendance the concert, as many fans who watched this video shared their emotions with the song in the comments.
"I've always been grateful "Supermarket Flowers" isn't on the set list. I used it to make my mum's memorial video for her funeral. She died about a month after it came out."
"It's a dream to hear this live. But I'd be an absolute mess…"
"This was released the year my mum passed. I've never been able to listen to it without sobbing."
The song has touched a lot of people, bringing them together over the shared experience of loss. Music is incredibly good at capturing emotion, and becoming a special thing for so many.🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬

Kate Middleton's mom strategy at her kids' sporting events is very relatable for exhausted parents anywhere
As parents, we don't always have the time; but we make the time. Panthea Parker of 'The Real Housewives of London' comes in contact with the Princess of Wales from time to time, as her son's school often plays sports against Lambrook School (where all three Wales children attend), and she has shared that Princess Catherine (who much of the world still calls Kate Middleton), is always present whenever a sports or school activity is happening. 'I see her quite a few times because my son's school plays against her son's school,' she told Hello! Magazine. 'So they play rugby and football against each other so we're always at her school or my school.' The two women aren't very well acquainted, but Parker is aware that Middleton is a constant fixture supporting her kids. "So classy, so lovely, and she never misses any of her children's matches, so really amazing. And nor do I, otherwise how do I know that?" she said in the interview. The Princess of Wales is famously a very hands-on parent, always present at all her kids' activities and sporting events (as referenced by royal expert Ingrid Seward in The Sun in a previous story). There's no doubt the future Queen of England has a lot on her plate, but she always makes the time to be present for her kids, and that's something we can all appreciate and relate to (or aspire to!).

Ernesto Barajas, founder of Mexican band Enigma Norteño, dies at 38: Reports
Ernesto Barajas, co-founder and singer/songwriter for the regional Mexican band Enigma Norteño, has died, according to multiple media reports. He was 38. The singer and bassist was fatally shot in western Mexico on Tuesday, Aug. 19, The Associated Press and newspaper El Universal reported, citing the Jalisco Attorney General's Office. The incident took place in Zapopan, located on the outskirts of Jalisco's capital, Guadalajara. USA TODAY has reached out to the prosecutor's office for more information. Barajas' management company, Talento Líder, confirmed the news to Billboard Español. His management also paid tribute to the musician in an Aug. 19 Instagram story that read, "Rest in peace, Ernesto Barajas. Your Talento Líder family will always be proud of you and remember you as the great artist and human being that you were. May God bless you." Peso Pluma knows you know who he is. How the Grammy winner put Mexican music on the map. Barajas founded Enigma Norteño alongside Humberto Pérez in 2004 in Culiacán, the capital of their home state of Sinaloa. Some of their most streamed songs include "El Deportivo," a collaboration with Billboard Music Awards winners Fuerza Regida, and "Hagnase A Un Lado." The group is known for narcocorridos – a genre that often glorifies drug cartels – with one of their tracks, "El Chapo Guzmán," directly referencing the infamous former Sinaloa Cartel leader Joaquín Guzmán. Mexico's 'narcocorridos' go mainstream. What's behind their popularity explosion? The band released its most recent album, "Atención Al Cliente," in November 2024. On Aug. 14, they debuted "Hello Kitty," a collaboration with fellow Sinaloa musician Edgardo Nuñez. In addition to his musical work, Barajas also hosted the podcast "Puntos de Vista con Ernesto Barajas."
