‘Very Nice Guy’: Ed Sheeran Delights Vancouver Record Shop With Visit, Concert Tickets
It was prescheduled, but the carefully timed nature of the visit didn’t dampen its delight for staff, according to Beat Street Records owner Avi Shack.English singer and songwriting legend Ed Sheeran swung by the downtown Vancouver shop on Saturday before his record-breaking performance at BC Place that evening.
Shack said he dropped by to talk music, vinyl, collectibles and more.He also gave free tickets to staff and signed records and CDs for them.“Very nice guy,” Shack told Global News on Monday.
“He was very down to earth, he was like one of the guys.
He just wanted to come and hang out, and probably show his face in public and get some interaction with the local music vibes.”Beat Street Records on West Hastings Street had to shut down for the interaction.
Shack said Sheeran arrived with a “sizable” crew that included personal security and publicists.
